Airstairs wont retract!

I can't get the airstairs to retract. I end up having to turn them off in the equipment list in order for them to "go away" any idea why this might be? Mitch bowman

I believe that the entry door must be closed before the airstairs commands will respond. Have you tried closing door first, then retracting stairs?

The door must be open for airstairs retraction.

The door must be open for airstairs retraction.
that would be funny if this was a requirement in the real world ... :)I think I also read this in the manual somewhere or forums, but I can retract the airstairs even with closed doors, but cant with door open ...

The door must be closed as the hand rails that go up to the open door retract.
