G'day KayPam,
I did it once in the sim after the session was completed and we had a little free time.
How we did it was to use full rudder and nosewheel steering to keep tracking the centreline while slowly introducing thrust on the live engine. Once Vmcg had been achieved then full thrust on the live engine was used with a normal rotate at Vr and climbout at V2, the same as an engine failure after V1 excercise.
The aeroplane was a B767, unfortunately I can't remember the TOW or ambient conditions for this exercise but the B767 climbed away quite nicely at MTOW on one engine.
Cheers.
Thanks, that's the answer i was looking for !
Obviously not something to be attempted on a regular basis but rather something nice to know, "for science" and curiosity.
