For engine failure of an outboard about half rudder trim seems to be a fairly good starting point and adjust accordingly.
Can't help you with the 250 and 280kts level without my notes but I just use the flight path vector anyway!
Hand Solo, that's all well and good but flaps 25/30 are the only landing flap configuration on the 744. Generally at 250T Flaps 30 1.08 will be close, if you're heavier 1.12 or so will be a "ballpark" figure.

I agree with Skiesfull, just fly the aircraft and don't worry about trying to outwit the simulator.
