Maybe I'm doing something wrong; but I've followed the process 4 times and each time has ended the same way:
My understanding is that staging should be automatic; and by following the tutorial and checklists this should happen following stage 1 cut-off; but this never happens.
Has anyone else seen this; or am I doing something stupid?

Hi! This sounds like the squibs are not armed. The most common cause of this exact same problem is that the squib switches are set to their middle position, and not their up position. Unlike the 4 battery switches, the 3 squib switches has a middle position (OFF), and it's easy to flip them once and move on. The checklist system should capture this but press twice on each of the squib switches to move them from UMB through OFF and finally to ON.

Thanks! You're exactly right and this was the cause of the issue. Now happily in orbit.
Good thing I wasn't flying the real Gemini missions - 4 complete vehicle losses due to incorrect switch configuration 😂
