Unfortunately, if you use the coolie hat for sideways and vertical
motion then you can't fire at the same time.  I like very much my setup
which uses rudder pedals for sideways motion and the hat for vertical
motion (this means I still can't fire and move vertically at the same
time--can't have everything!) and roll control.  The pedals make it trivially
easy to continuously rotate around an enemy and blast it to bits.
