Unfortunatly the stick blocks both gyro & compass when using that key. Cheers.

The trick is holding course steady whilst setting the compass and directional indicator.
Yeah.. i guess i'm just gonna have to practice and probably tweak my TrackIR profile, smooth it out so its less sensitive..as when zoomed in its all a bit jerky to make fine adjustments to the setter & gyro. Thanks.

EDIT: Does this sim have snapviews?.. maybe a custom snapview might be best.
