Did you get the 2637 meters from official charts? IIRC the EFB takes runway lengths from the sim, not any official source, so maybe there's something amiss in the scenery or the sim database.

I did Navigraph and Lido. MK Studios EIDW. Who knows

What the heck are you talking about? Works just fine.

I started a flight from KFAT to KELP and the tablet dont set the airport name for KFAT, and if there is no airport name you can not choose the runway, and so on.

Now i am short before my TOD and tried again and now it shows up, don`t know what happens at this stage - so i put in the name manually ( what is not working ) but knowing this should be found from the EFB what not happens so i got a bit angry but now it seems to work..

Have to try again by a next flight.

cheers 😉

Yeah I had to insert an airport name into KCLT for the calculator to work. The ICAO code should be enough.

For some reason my tablet isn't showing up, although the FMS says I have v3.0.8.0?

"When the tablet is not visible, you can activate it in our 737’s using the CDU menu via PMDG SETUP > AIRCRAFT > EQUIPMENT > Page 16 of 17 (OPT EQUIP 4). As with all settings, this is stored per aircraft."

I am kinda amazed they didn't turn it on by default and make you go into the MCDU to disable it.

For me it was on by default.  So not sure why not the same for others.

He prefers Into the blue, no word not allowed or bias, says it as it is, and a RW Pilot.

 

He prefers Xplanes FM over MSFS though. No points here.

Good for him, I also have both, but very disappointed in the "Other sim"
