Use the FD and autopilot whenever allowed; don't try to be manly and hand-fly the sim when you don't have to. It's not a real airplane and you won't enjoy it.

Regarding staying on the runway after Vr...lots of instructors teach that and even if an examiner is not a fan of the technique you can still get away with it for a second or two. You DO NOT want to be rotating at the same time that you are still dialing in directional control on a V1 cut...too many things to do at once. Get your rudder input set first, then rotate.

like i said it is not good. instructors that teach that are doing a diservice to the guys they are teaching. sure a company check airman may like it, but 9 out of 10 feds will bust you for doing it. sim world and real world are two different things. hanging out on the runway after rotate is taking away your precious altitude that you need to clear the obstacles that v1 was predicated on. try it single engine, flex, heavy, and high density altitude and the rj has a climb rate of about 1000fpm. not very impressive in mountaineous terrain.

at pinnacle the call outs are simple.
nothing is done till the 2nd segment of flight. so its not that hard to keep the plane under control since all you have to do is fly it. nothing fancy, just keep it centered. and you will be fine.
