Securing aircraft After the landing and before you go having a beer you need to secure the aircraft. This tutorial will take you through that process. !!!CAUTION!!! Starting this tutorial with the engine not running will NOT work! /sim/model/c172p/securing/allow-securing-aircraft true /controls/switches/magnetos 3 /controls/switches/starter true /engines/active-engine/running true /controls/engines/engine/use-primer true /controls/engines/engine/primer 3 /instrumentation/adf/frequencies/selected-khz 367 /environment/weather-scenario Fair weather /sim/model/c172p/cockpit/control-lock-placed false /sim/model/c172p/cockpit/control-lock-visible false 0.0 -12 0.0 -0.21 0.19 73.6 We're almost done.
