MSFS 2024: Update 7.2 fixes performance, aerodynamics and UI issues

The latest sim update 7.2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (version 1.9.24.0) resolves several performance and stability issues. PC users are advised to relocate outdated community packages from the default community folder to prevent unexpected delays or instability. Technical fixes include restoring BMP file loading for XML gauges on PS5 and reverting a change to drag simulation calculations to ensure backward compatibility with third-party aircraft. Aerodynamic issues in helicopters, triggered by the Realistic turbulence setting, have been addressed. Additional corrections include engine start problems for aircraft using Bleed Air Starter systems at low temperatures and incorrect values in the in-flight Camera menu. Developers benefit from fixes in the SimObject Profiler and WASM API, including a crash resolution for numerical SimConnect events and adjustments to the *fsNetworkHttpRequestGetState* function’s return values on PS5.
