I think there is something going on there. When I tried to stop pushback in the a310 this morning, it restarted again on its own, while I was sorting out pre taxi checks. Clicked on the pushback stop on the tablet, which it did, but on taxying off, there was no steering. Checking outside I still had a tug attached. Clicking on the tablet eventually got it to disconnect, where we were OK then

Well I tried push back at Heathrow via the pushback in MS and it worked well. Set my flight plan to Edinburgh, went through the whole checklist procedure but found that since I had not flown the HS146 for a bit forgot where all the relevant switches are but got there in the end.
Sadly the flight encountered a slight mishap when 100nm from Talla (no FMC for me thank you very much) went to make a coffee then back into the cockpit where I was met with You have overstressed the aircraft!!!!!!
Too tired to be bothered to go through all of that again, will retry tomorrow.

Now if you had programmed the fmc with the route, You could have had popped to the pub for a pint before landing
I never have the crash detection turned on. Been there done that

The Easter sale and the release of Version 2 finally convinced me to buy the 146.
The only issue at the moment is using a rotary control axis for trim; all three trim settings immediately go to -100% if I even so much as touch one of the knobs on my Loupedeck. They can only be brought back to neutral by repeated pressing of the assigned buttons/keys. The 146 is the only aircraft that has this problem, and I see that others are having issues with runaway autopilot trim, which sounds like it's connected to my issue. I'll stick with the key/button assignments for now, and talk to JF about it in due course.
Other than that, a real beauty, and well worth the price. Hugely impressed.
