Apollo 11 CSM/LM Separation

I'm trying to get the CSM to separate from the LM in the Apollo 11 scenario in NASSP 7. I've gone through the checklist and for some reason it isn't happening. Is this a bug or operator error?

Docking probe circuit breakers on panel 8 are closed?

Yes, they are closed. When I flip the CSM/LM Sep 2 switch, the only thing that happens is that the docking probe detaches from the top of the CM. The CSM does not separate from the LM.

I tried restarting the scenario and flipping the CSM/LM 1 Final switch instead, and the same thing happens. The docking probe detaches from the CM and that is it.

Sorry for the late answer, overlooked this post. Don't confuse the CSM/LM Final Sep switches with the ones for undocking, Docking Probe EXTD/REL and Retract 1/2 switches. For undocking you just need the docking probe switches, only when you want to get rid of the LM after it has returned from the lunar surface you would use the CSM/LM Final Sep switches.
