I have not seen much information on the new autogyros in msfs2024,
I fly helicopters and light aircraft in real life and sim, also a few hours in real autogyros,
I hope the autogyro flight models are realistic in msfs 2024

I built a Bensen gyrocopter (but with Rotor Hawk blades) back in the early 1980’s, so I’m also hoping the flight model is up to scratch in 2024. I tried a 3rd party Gyroplane in FS2020 and it was just awful, nothing remotely like the quite distinct flight dynamics of the real thing. I flew it once and deleted it.
Gyros are a very different beast from either fixed wing or helicopters and are blast to fly. Sadly though, I saw too many accidents, one fatal, back in the day and called it quits. But I’d still love to have a bare bones Bensen properly modelled in the sim.

Yes I agree, Information has been quite scant on the Autogyro’s.
MS/Asobo, can you please give us some more info on the Magni autogyro’s included in the sim. (I don’t think 1 picture, 5 seconds of flyby video and a 3 line blurb will suffice)
Considering Autogyros have never been included in MS Flight Sim products in the past. Things like flight performance and freewheeling rotor dynamics may prove hard to replicate.
