Looks like they forgot to test the weather, it doesn't seem to work.

It's working for me, but I'm sure there are gremlins. Usually are when something new or is added.

Weather just started working in the US. Apparently it was a server issue. 

 

 

 

Not sure if just me but can't adjust landing distance. Even though announcement says - Reduced runway length computations. 

I have also found if you want to type in airport ICAO it freezes the sim for a few seconds each time you input a letter to find the airport since it brings a list up.

No update in Ops Ctr. here

Make sure all PMDG 737 are in the community folder, or it won't install.

I'm a long time PMDG customer (20 years) and I have purchased every product on day one of release. I really enjoy the aircraft's tremendously. However, I'm not getting any sort of wow factor from this Tablet. I don't know if it's because PMDG has been telling us for 2 years that this Tablet will set a new standard, so my expectation in return was very high. I'm just not seeing it!

🙂 My greatest satisfaction when my company decided to implement the use of EFB (tablet) was to stop loading my FlightKit with all those heavy Jeppesen manuals.

Ditto to the long term user and I have to agree with you, although functional, it's pretty basic compared to other tablets out there, IMO Fenix and FBW offer more features and look better, but hey, at least we have one in the 737 range - at last.

That's nice... now onto the stuff that matters, like the 777.

Yes this is my initial assessment as well.  I didn't find the P3D PMDG tablet particularly helpful as it was actually much quicker and simpler to just use the FMC.  Now it is early days but it seems I may go the same way in MSFS2020 - it looks very pretty but only if you have Navigraph charts and in any case I prefer to have utilities that do this sort of pre flight stuff on my second monitor.  But as I said this is an initial impression I may change my mind over time.
