Aerodynamically, yes. The gear is interpolated from "all" to "none"
over the retract-time specified. But you can't see that in the
properties; all you get is the control position. David is right, we
need to decide on a set of output properties for the actual surface
positions.

Not quite. The term "flap" in the YASim configuration files refers to
any moving-flap control surface. The two on the wings are the landing
flaps and ailerons. The <wing> definition is mirrored by default, so
there's no need to specify both flaps (or both ailerons).
So the control mapping is from /controls/flaps to FLAP0, and from
/controls/ailerons to FLAP1. The aileron mapping has a split="true"
argument to get the sense right.
Note that you can have multiple control mappings for any given
surface. This is there to support things like the "flaperons" on the
F-18 or the V-tail of the early Bonanzas.
Oh, and apropos of the 747, I tried it again last night and reproduced
the power bug that you and Jim Wilson reported. I haven't a clue,
although I know it used to work (I distinctly remember cruising at
36000 ft.). I must have broken something, probably in the engine
model; I'll take a look.
