Gear lock pins (ground support) don't lock gear

Maybe I don't understand what these pins are for.  But when I leave them in place and take off, I can get all gear to go up and down like normal.  Seems like it should be very bad to leave these in and that the gear should fail to operate?

 

Loving this plane so far, as I get back into X-Plane and Vatsim after a couple years away from the whole thing.

They are visual. Remove them like you should. We don't plan to simulate something you should take care of when you know you should.

No worries Cameron.   I just mentioned it because I thought (a) it would be simple enough to implement in terms of the "logic" involved and there is provision made for when you try and taxi with cones out and things like that generating comments, and ( I wanted to make sure I understood correctly what those pins are in fact supposed to do in real life.   I would be fine if none of the ground support stuff was drawn or simulated, but the detail is very very impressive and I love the plane.
