Has anyone experienced the following with their 757?  When flying a long flight, over three hours, if I minimize my FSX to do something else on the computer (when using in windows mode), sometimes when I enlarge FSX again, the aircraft has gone out of control and has crashed.  I know how to use the FMC, autopilot, etc.  Could this be caused by minimizing FSX, and why would that cause this?

I normally pause my flight if I want to do something else.
This used to cause a problem with earlier versions.
I'm not sure if it still happens.I guess you can also have problems if you increase the simulation rate in flight.If for example you have rough weather,you get thrown of course.Most developers do not recommend,and will not guarantee performance with increased simulation rate.Reduced simulation rates seem to work OK most of the time.Anyway,I do not normally plan long flights,as I like take offs and landings more.FSX has some inherent bugs

I noticed yesterday that it pitched up to about 15 to 20 degrees on approach when I set the flaps to 20 degrees. Also it always starts rotating about 105 to 110 KIAS no matter the weight or trim setting. Also when taking off yesterday, at about 80% thrust, I started climbing and then stalled at about 1000' I was able to recover but I don't think that's a good thing 

In the 757 v4.6, whatever the setting displayed (for the trim) is on the takeoff reference page of the CDU (using a CG of 30) is what I set the trim at. It climbs perfectly fine and doesn't stall at 1000 feet. I am in the habit of turning the AP on once I reach about 400-500 feet AGL followed quickly by pressing VNAV, so this might help prevent me from getting the stall like you get.

Maybe it is your controller that is causing this? Using my MS Sidewinder FF 2 joystick, I have to pull back to takeoff. If I don't, I will be going faster than the V² bug before taking off. And so you know, I do not push forward to keep the nose on the ground for longer, I keep the joystick centred until I pull back on it.

Maybe it is because you have too much weight towards the back of the aircraft with your payloads and this causes the nose to rise earlier.

Here is how mine is set in 4.6 I do not use the tooltips info for the setting or I will climb very steeply and the A/P will take a while to sort it out, which could cause a stall.

I set the white line as close as I can to the number that is shown in CDU TAKEOFF REF page (see attached image).

I always have my yoke centered until vR speed, plus it always rotates early no matter the weight. I can have the plane completely empty excluding pilot and crew weight and it will still rotate at 105 to 110 KIAS.

Yes, I'm using the ACE. Also I use the -200 PAX.
