Each airline has its own rules for taxing procedures with engines shutdown for fuel consumption. Some do it.....most dont. Not sure why you would want to do it in the sim though. Fuel is free :-)

LOL!! Yeah Gary is right fuel is free!! But we shut down the Engine after Landing to save some fuel but that is Captain discretion I wouldnīt do it!

Some airlines mandate shutting down #2 for taxi after landing the 727. Or at least they used to.
Is the APU must be running first before engine shutdown?
Not on the 727. Generator #3 is supplying essential power. It's recommended that the APU be started five minutes prior to gate arrival.
Is procedure on the BUs to start the APU after landing! part of the SOPīs!

FCOM 3.04.90 P1-2

Sorry to say the aswer is not there... The Procedure is there which is different but not how much fuel you save and if it is not policy it is not neccessary to do it!

You will find company policy rules. And procedures are very company specific....
