I agree with compressorstall, hogsnortrupert. I flew the B200 variant. V1/VR were both 95kts for a flapless takeoff, which was normal per the POH; so no flap retraction required at 400ft. There was no published 2nd segment. Although you'd never do it in the real aircraft, and who knows how good sim fidelity is, the handling charateristics of the B200 on one engine between VR and V2/VYSE were certainly not gentle. Engine failures after V2, like someone else mentioned; you'd hardly notice them if the autofeather and rudder boost worked as advertised. Agree about the climb out potential once at speed.
