The CS-757 does a very good job of simulating an engine failure.
Here is a screen capture of a simulated engine failure during takeoff from KDCA.
This profile requires a turn right after takeoff. As you can see in the picture the key to flying any multi-engine aircraft during an engine failure is to keep the ball centered. In this case with the right engine at idle and the left engine at full thrust and the plane at or about V2 you need a smart amount of rudder to prevent the plane from yawing over on its back.
Just at rotation, I used my mouse to retard the right thrust lever to idle. I kept the black ball centered (ADI) by using a good amount of left rudder. Use just enough rudder to center the ball. I am also in a slight left turn to follow the river and avoid the restricted area just off the end of the runway. The procedure is to maintain V2 to V2+10 knots to 800 feet. At 800 feet, level off and retract the flaps on schedule and then continue the climb to 1,500 feet where the engine failure is over and the checklist can be run. This is the area where the famous "DON'T SINK" voice could be heard if any negative climb rate happens.
