Great advice from all. Here is my input albeit from the baby of the Boeing family (B737NG). From the discussion above the techniques are very similar regardless of size.
This simple rhyme is what I would teach my trainees for V1 Cuts.
Squeeze (rudder to maintain centreline)
Freeze (rudder input)
12 degrees (target pitch attitude)
Squeeze the rudder in unison with the thrust decay, obviously a seizure or severe damage will require rudder to be inputted faster than the thrust decay from a flameout.
Freeze the rudder input required to track centre line and lock your leg by placing your heel on the floor. Do NOT change this input at rotation use aileron to keep the wings level.
Maintain the target pitch attitude and the airspeed will settle nicely in the V2 to V2+10 range and minor pitch changes will set the speed right at V2. Where I have seen more pilots get into trouble is over rotation and chasing V2 with aggressive pitch changes.
Some aileron is required at rotation to maintain wings level. Hold these inputs until a positive rate of climb is achieved and the gear is retracted then reduce the cross controlled condition smoothly by inputting rudder as required to level the yoke.
Good luck in the sim she can be an unforgiving mistress.
