Aircraft can takeoff with tiedowns still attached #30

To reproduce, autostart the aircraft. While the plane is stationary, add one or more tiedowns. Take-off normally and observe the tiedowns are still visible. The tiedowns should be disappear in this situation, and the user should probably be presented with a warning indicating that the tiedowns were not removed, and that they snapped.

Reason for this is that, in the current implementation, if at least one tiedown or chock is placed, the parking brake is set to ON. And with the parking brake set, the engines still can accelerate the plane (so it's a combination of an oversimplified implementation and a FDM bug)
