Ok, Hog Driver

Follow. But everything you describe is something a qualified pilot would do instinctively, without having done it on Sim. Nor would he need have done it prior to have success in the real world. V2+4, V1+1, you get what you're given, it's flyable, demonstrably. You go. Why wouldn't 70% of Sim pilots get it? Troubling it's not 100%. If after V1 nothing you did worked,(after launch, as you must), you're a soon to land Truck slowing down to Park. The ultimate outcome is a result beyond your ability to decide and effect Flight. What if 2 starts shedding parts, but is still making thrust? It doesn't matter, in real life, there are times you can't think or perform your way out of destiny. It is a Human endeavour, and subject to the slings, arrows and Fate of our realm. My first flight instructor landed his Baron on a Dept. Store many years ago, the lawsuits are still not resolved.
It wasn't his Fault, it was his responsibility.
