You may have to go into that aircraft's .cfg file and increase it's ELEVATOR UP LIMIT and ELEVATOR RESPONSIVENESS. I've had to do that with various aircraft in FSX when they just wouldn't "take-off".

Try a couple of simple checks first, is the autopilot switched on at all & set to keep you at your present altitude above sea level? Is your elevator trim set for take-off?

Cheers,

FSX Aircraft .cfg file is at:
C/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator X/Sim Objects/Aircraft (or Rotorcraft).
Open the desired aircraft's folder.
Open the aircraft's .cfg file with Notepad.
If there's a [flight tuning] section, look for Elevator Responsiveness.
Change the numbers in Elevator Responsiveness to your liking and then File/Save.
Go to the [Aircraft Geometry] or [Geometry] section.
Find the Elevator Up Limit and Elevator Down Limit.
Change those numbers to your liking and then File/Save.
Exit out of Notepad.
You may have to do this a few times until you get your aircraft where you want it.

Regards,
Nigel

::) This isn't a matter of whats wrong with the plane. What I think is wrong is 2 things,  1. You may have to much fuel and don't have enough power to take off. Go to fuel and payload options and kick out some passengers, have the pilot go on a diet or unload fuel. The An-124 is a big plane and has enough fuel for a VERY long flight,  you can spare to get rid of some. The second thing would also be another factor to the above, is the runway the correct length? Its most likely too short, I would personally not use a runway under 8000ft unless I had less then 75% of fuel. That last statement may be off, I don't fly that plane often so my numbers may be way off.
