Did anyone tried to copy PMDG 737 to MSFS2024 community folder?
Any feedback?

I suspect, without any real knowledge, that we need to wait for PMDG to update their Ops Center app to get the planes into MSFS24
They work (more or less), but you need to also copy the work folder for the PMDG planes into the appropriate location in MSFS24’s folders. Just moving the community-based folder won’t do it.
“Work” but very much not as PMDG intends. Just entering your Simbrief ID into the EFB using an external keyboard crashes the entire sim. And updating the AIRAC data in the EFB resulted in a WASM crash rending the aircraft frozen and unusable.
It’s possible that if you disable the EFB in the FMC and don’t use it at all that the aircraft might work well enough to complete a flight, but I haven’t investigated that. PMDG’s official word is their planes don’t work and they don’t know how long it will take to make them work as intended.
Admittedly, I haven’t actually tried a flight in one of the 73xs in 2024 yet… Maybe I’ll go and remove them now if it’s that bad in practice.
Seem to fly ok , Simbreif working but screens dim and can’t. Be brightened. PMDG 737800
From PMDG forum : Progress Update for 2024 Product Releases:
With our plans to bring the DC-6, 737 and 777 into MSFS2024, we have been a bit frozen in place up until a week ago, as the tools needed for C++ developers to work with MSFS2024 were defective at the time the simulator was released. Last week we did receive a platform/SDK update that unlocked the tools- but we quickly ran into a problem with the SDK that is related to memory allocation that you may recall we first reported late in the summer when we received the last MSFS2020 SDK update. We have had quite a bit of back-and-forth with Asobo on this topic during the week and we have been advised that a fix has been implemented and that we should get it in a future update to the platform and SDK. We do not have a date for said fix, but given that the next two workweeks are bifurcated by two holidays that are popular in the west, I suspect we will not see the platform updated with our fix until sometime after 06JAN24- and most likely around 14JAN25 if my understanding of the release patterns is approximately accurate.
