Parking brake; depends. Efficiency varies from aircraft to aircraft, depends how well it's set up. Theoretically, it should match the toe-brakes, but personally I would only trust it to temporarily hold a parked aircraft.
Cheers, I've noticed a lot of pilots talking about the toe brakes over the parking brake. Good technique to get used to.

I use Xplane 11 with the default C172. While the flight characteristics seem reasonable, the ground handling, both rudder pedal steering and braking is poorly modelled. This is a BATD (FAA certification) and by definition not expected to be entirely accurate.
Enjoy the flying and don’t stress the minor details!
Cool, that makes sense. Yea I realise sims always have limitations. I'm just really nerdy and like to obsess over the details
. Also, I can afford to fly a sim, but not a real aircraft.
