Every time I take off, I don't know when to pull the stick aft, the NATOPS says, in crosswind takeoff, aft stick pressure shouldn't be applied until approaching lift off speed. But I don't know how to get the lift off speed. Could somebody tell me how to get that?

It depends on your weight and aircraft Cg.  The charts are in the F/A-18 performance volume and pocket checklist (look at the Takeoff Distance chart and you'll see the Nosewheel Liftoff/Takeoff speeds contained therein).  If you don't have those, the nice thing is that DCS is a flight simulator and you can figure it out without risking your life by trial and error.  Max tire speed is 190 knots for the nosegear and 210 for the main gear, so if you're keeping the nose on the deck and you're above that, you're risking blowing the tires.

Thank you. I am going to look into the chart.

Admittedly I don't do much flying from an air field but for me, I just put flaps at 1/2 and the plane kind of lifts off on it's own.
