Interesting reading this one!
Lomcevak,
To answer your question, in the Dash 8 sim (and I hope the aircraft is similar) you do start to roll and yaw quite quickly with a failure just after V1/Vr, requiring almost full rudder and about half control wheel deflection pretty much at the same time to track straight. I imagine the yawing sensation may be more obvious in a turboprop than a jet making the rudder input a pretty natural first reaction and that is what is taught. While at V2 the control inputs stay pretty steady and we try for ball centred and wings as level as possible. The checkies say the sim does climb out better with wings level ball centred rather than any bank toward good engine. And after all why complicate things too much when the Dash 8 climbs out OK like this.
More interesting in the box can be single engine go-rounds, especially if you have an AC failure as well (strange how that happens in the sim), which means you lose some roll spoilers as well and then you just go full rudder and full aileron and hope it almost goes straight.
At least Dash 8 pilots are always pretty current with hand flying the aircraft which probably also helps. If we don't do 10 landings a week for both captain and FO we have had a quiet week and we do sim every 3 months.
