Mike Eustace and Doug Attrell explain why it is necessary to pause the sim and activate the gear before taking off:

"The gear phenomenon is a little internal flaw caused by the way CFS works, and unfortunately this impinges on the behaviour of your gear during the rest of the mission - i.e: it doesn't function. This could be pretty serious during the Carrier landing stage as you might well imagine, but the benevolent part of the phenomenon is that if your gear isn't functioning when you start on the Carrier, then you don't need it functioning in order to land either - you land perfectly well without it."
