This has rattled around these hallowed forums for as long as I can remember. There are basically two sorts of pilots.
One who need to 'paint by numbers' and have fixed settings for things. Simulator engineers are generally of this breed. They know EXACTLY how much NI/EPR, rudder trim, pitch etc to apply single-engined and because the sim is just a machine they then fly an IMMACULATE s/e ILS while others flail around. The other sort have a feel for the a/c and in the case of a crosswind will do what bubbers says. Both manage fine.
In both cases, ALL should know that simple aerodyamics require a bigger aileron input at rotate, and if it catches them by surprise they have not been taught properly.
Also as said above, the removal of the cross-controls at lift off is very simple and natural and 9 times out of ten leaves the a/c pointing exactly the right way for the drift.
