You wouldn't normally encounter it with a CH Flightstick (This is one of those things that happens because you have all these buttons at your disposal on a Cougar and you are trying to do multiple things at once), which is why.
My example uses the dual stage trigger - where the first click starts the gun cam, and the second click starts the M61. The problem comes when you hit the first click, F4 recognizes the button press, but the second is followed so close behind, F4 doesn't see it (which results in you holding the trigger down and the gun not doing anything - which can mean the diff between life and death!). This is because F4 (especially SP4.2) only can see one keyboard thing at a time within a given ms due to the way it is programmed. So you can program in delays into keyboard strokes with the cougar and time when one thing happens to the next, and you can also program in the ability to release a key and verify it is released before the next macro key starts. This fixes Falcons shortcominngs.
F4AF makes better use of DX and eliminates a lot of this garbage - especially the ability to use more joystick buttons (all 32 of them) as DX buttons so you can program around it with more effieciency.
