I think the loud bang means that you hit the tail, A.K.A you just had a tail strike which may also explain why you can't move the tail anywhere. Perhaps try rotating slower and that should prevent a tail strike.

Hello,

 

Your probably not setting the aircraft up for takeoff properly.

 

I use flaps 20 on the PMDG 744 and around 6.0 on the trim if that is a help? The reason you are getting a tail strike is because on your settings the aircraft is not setup for takeoff.

 

Try my settings and report back eh? :)

Use falps 20 and at 160 Knots beggin to rotate slowly, once airborn get gear up reduce throttle to Climb power   and beggin to your flaps up operation, careful she'll accelerate very quickly so reduce throttle a bit until you get to 10.000 ft.
