Getting weapons to leave the rack is even harder in the old SU-27 sim. Russian weapons apparently have very strict restrictions on when the weapon is able to release from the rack. It used to annoy the hell out of me.
Falcon 4.0 can be annoying too and why I don't play it much. You need to take a 4 year University course to learn the sim inside and out. And remembering all the keyboard commands requires a photographic memory, which I don't have.
