Everything I have set to be done automatically after takeoff is working, with the exception of the gear being raised. At about the time the gear should be raised, I'm getting the captain's call for the landing lights to be shut off.
By the way, the panel I'm testing with is Lonny Paynes MD-83 panel. It's fairly complex, yet FSFO is working very well with it. This gear up problem is the only thing so far that's just flat out not working.

For the gear up to be raised, you have to have the "Raise Lnd Gear" option selected via the Aircraft Profile screen. Please verify this option is set by performing the following:
1. Select your Aircraft Profile
2. Navigate to the OPT tab
3. In the CoPilot Takeoff Option group-box, verify the Lng Gear options is checked.
BTW, is the pilot calling for the Landing Gear to raise?

That was the first thing I checked, and the option is selected. In one of my other posts I sent you the config file for this airplane, and you should be able to confirm that. As for the pilot calling for the landing gear to raise, all I'm hearing is the pilot calling for the landing and taxi lights to be off. This is right after positive climb begins, at the point you would expect to hear the raise gear call.

The landing gear should be raised when a positive rate of climb is detected. OK, does the copilot call v1, vr and v2 on the takeoff roll? Also, does the flight phase (bottom middle column) state "takeoff roll" when you exceed 45 knots on the takeoff roll?

I'm definitely getting the v1 & vr call. Not sure about the v2...I'll have to listen more closely on the next flight. I'll also check to make sure FSFO is in take off roll state. Everything else that I have selected to be done seems to be working. Flaps are being retracted, autopilot turned on, autopilot speed mode selected.

You guys/girls were right; I was using the wrong value with the landing gear...fixed in V3 (90% done). I just need to complete the Airbus checklist and create the vspeeds databases. The goal with V3 is to require limited user action; you shouldn't have to spend hours creating profiles. Attachments:
