1-Go to the texture folder oy this gyroplane and look for something like "propdisk" "prop" etc. As far as I know all texture files for propellers, rotors etc. contain the word "prop".
2-Open one of the texture folders of, for instance, the default FSX Robinson R22 an you will see the file Prop_R22_1
3-Replace the "prop xxxx" of the gyroplane with Prop_R22_1
That should work. You can use other "prop" textures of any of the other Helicopters.
Good luck!
Many thanks for the tip, Papi....

I will give it a try!
I suppose it matters not whether the prop is mounted horizontally (Helicopter), or vertically (Aircraft), the "texture" will be the same?
My Gyrocopters/Gyroplanes contain both types: Rotor and Pusher Prop.
Its the only major problem I have in using my lovely FS 2002/FS 2004 aircraft in my FSX!
There must be something different between the prop textures used in FS 2002/FS 2004, compared to the prop textures used in FSX!
A different design program, or paint program, or a different use of the program?...

Many thanks again!
I'm sure it will be a useful tip for many FS2004+FSX Pilots out there...
