Default Gentle take-offs at high speed

in addition, you would have to keep pushing quite a bit
to prevent the aircraft from taking off, thus forcing
the nose wheel down, and you don't really want the nose
wheel down at higher speed. Another detail that MS FS
gets wrong I reckon (it does a reasonable good job as long
as you keep things well within the envelop so to speak,
but as soon as you start doing something a bit odd, it is
unlikely to behave realistically).
