Default true simulation of taildragger takeoff

Hi which simulator is best for simulating take offs I have looked at a few but all seem to do the same thing
--gun it and it goes straight and then takes off--

but for tail draggers but we all know that that is not nearly correct there needs to be rudder added to the mix in order to compensate for engine torque
not to mention the use of elevator to stop nosing over

I lost a nice corsair during takeoff because my skill set was not up to speed
if I had had a nice simulator to practice take offs that were realistic I m,ight still have it

thanks for any and all feedback
