How do you set Directional Gyro & Course Setter whilst in flight?

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

I usually start in the zoomed out FOV, I just sit up a bit, lean to the far left, move forward a bit and then look diagonally downwards and inwards towards the compass and I get a good enough view to set the compass. 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.
