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

[MadTommy]

Hi, i'm looking for some tips & tricks on setting the Directional Gyro & Course Setter whilst in flight on the British fighters.

On the ground it is easy, pull the stick back, zoom in, lock TrackIr and make your adjustments. But while flying this is impossible, obviously pulling the stick back and maintaining a steady course is impossible.

I've had little luck trying to peer around the stick, very difficult to do i find. I have set keys on my HOTAS for both to try and make it easier but still finding it near impossible.

Flying the Helmut Wick vs. J. C. Dundas 111th Squadron – Hurricane campaign is hopeless without being able to do this mid flight.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
