What the badges mean

HeavyPro's header shows one badge at a time. Here is what each one means and what to do.

• SHAPING (green): everything works. In Fly, the gold bar under Stick → Aircraft is what the aircraft gets, the white tick is your stick. Watch them: the gold bar follows the tick with the aircraft's weight.
• MOVE STICK: connected, waiting for your stick. Move it once.
• SET UP STICK: HeavyPro reads the stick itself on this route, but you have not picked one yet. Press Detect in Setup.
• PASS-THROUGH: your stick reaches the sim untouched, without HeavyPro's weight. This is what happens for the BlueBird 757 and the Aerosoft A330/A340 while your stick is still bound in MSFS. See Routes explained to give them the weight too.
• AP ON · PAUSED: the autopilot is flying. HeavyPro hands the controls back until you disconnect it. See Autopilot.
• WAITING FOR MSFS: the sim is not running yet. HeavyPro connects by itself when it starts.

Tip: the in-game panel (the white R in the toolbar) shows the same state while you fly, so you don't need to switch out of the sim.
