On October 21, 2023, PMDG broke the long-awaited silence upon the release of the much-awaited EFB for the Boeing 737. In a forum post, Robert S. Randazzo stated that the free update would be released on October 30, 2023, and would feature revolutionary features such as Data Entry via an attached keyboard, conversion between Metric/Imperial units, Independent tablets for the captain and first officer, and even a day/night setting. Creating such an intelligent tablet was not easy, as stated by Robert S. Randazzo, the initial development timeframe of 2 months was a vast underestimation, due to limitations with the simulator and the interface between C++ with WASM, which would allow for the tablet software to interface with the aircraft.<ref>{{Cite web |last=randazzo |first=Robert |date=October 21, 2023 |title=[21OCT23] Introducing the Universal Flight Tablet for PMDG's Microsoft Flight Simulator Airliner Fleet |url=https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/268165-21oct23-introducing-the-universal-flight-tablet-for-pmdg-s-microsoft-flight-simulator-airliner-fleet }}</ref>
