I wasn’t aware of the M-24 in 2020 and really love the version that’s included in 2024. Restoring the tablet would be much appreciated. I hear there’s a version that includes larger bush tires. That would be an update I’d be willing to purchase separately.
On a side note I’ve reported the following Hawk bug and think the same behavior is present in the M-24. Thanks for such great aircraft.
Hi Matt, i’ll fix that after the holidays. Just get some issues with the sim in dev mode yet
But it’ll be fine.
Have a good weekend 
I fly the Magni M24 the most of any Msfs2024 plane. It’s very fun, but I’ve also experienced occasional loss of control at altitude when airspeed drops. For instance if I cut the throttle to lose altitude. Dropping hundreds of feet nose-down but the indicated airspeed stays zero and the rotor RPM keeps dropping until it stops. Is this real gyro behavior or is there any way to recover control? I would have thought you could induce auto-gyration by holding the stick back.
Appreciate it. Thanks for the great additions.
I have the same issue. From what I’ve seen online regarding gyroplanes they shouldn’t stall like this but instead continue autorotating and start descending. Letting the airspeed drop to 0 often results in a horrific stall spin that isn’t recoverable. I haven’t tried any of the pure rotorcraft so I’m not sure if autorotation is a properly modeled in the sim.
Hi @BlueMesh3192 I see in the sim that the empty weight for the Magni is set to 285 kg. I think this is a bit too optimistic. Given that your model has a ROTAX 915 IS, the model is therefore an M24 “PLUS”. Based on several manuals and and documentation I could find online, the empty weight should be more around 301 to 310 kg. See for ex both links : one is a brochure, the other an article. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/644ad0f3abc837775b199d60/t/653f28c6592a1c3a3236216d/1698638024221/M24PriceGuide.pdf
I hope this helps.
Hello,
I also love flying the magnificent autogyro, which I find very beautiful both inside and out.
However, I have the same issue mentioned above. Indeed, with a real autogyro, when cutting the throttle, you should be able to enter autorotation by pulling the stick back (nose up) until the airspeed drops to 0. This way, you descend vertically with no horizontal speed, and the rotor gains RPM. To regain speed, you would need to push the nose down.
Similarly, during landing, by cutting the throttle and pulling the stick back, you should be able to stabilize at a speed of 50 knots. Here, that doesn’t seem to be the case; it feels unstable.
Otherwise, excellent modeling!
Thank you.
This thing is a hoot. There are real autogyro pilots in the conversation, so I will defer to them on the flight model. From real-world autogyro videos it seems generally fairly accurate, with the exception of the cut-throttle autorotation and landing performance noted by other commenters. That seems fair – I had assumed the lack of a “flare” at landing was just an autogyro thing, but apparently not.
The pre-rotation would be nice to have, since the real aircraft does have that feature. I find that the rotor spins up fairly quickly on take off - easiest aircraft yet on the notorious Bugalaga (Papua New Guinea) airstrip.
Pre rotation is modelled and works. The lever is at the front of the flight stick and binds to cowl flaps in control settings.
