Ralphk Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Hey guys i'd love to have the 3 of them, though i think the Top Gun Theme instrumental would make more sense. which do u think should make it as a theme song? A- Mighty Wings B- Top Gun Guitar Theme C- Danger Zone D- Other... Edited July 20, 2015 by Ralphk
Frisco1522 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Easily the hardest decision I have made for a long, long time. :huh: I'd go with the Top Gun theme since its slow and dramatic, kinda like the A-10 theme music. The others are great for when you are up there and flying, but I can guarantee I will play the intro just like the movie the first time I can get my hands on it and start flying. Frisco1522 P.S. Maybe a way to have it cycle and pick one at random? I would want that so bad...
CheckGear Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I'd rather it be something original. Using the Top Gun soundtrack is very cheesy. Flight sims in the past have done a very good job of creating their own classic soundtracks; why not do it again?
Hadwell Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 It requires no theme song, it's mere presence is enough, and any prejudices people have against certain genres of music just subtract from the awesomeness that is the F-14...

emg Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Wouldn't they have to pay expensive royalties to use any of these songs?
CheckGear Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Wouldn't they have to pay expensive royalties to use any of these songs? Something the advocates of the unoriginal soundtrack fail to consider. I think the soundtracks of the old flight sims were downright majestic. We need to get back to creating original, memorable soundtracks that contribute to the atmosphere of the game.
BlackLion213 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 It requires no theme song, it's mere presence is enough, and any prejudices people have against certain genres of music just subtract from the awesomeness that is the F-14... +1 I love the footage in Top Gun, probably the best collection of aerial shots made for any film to date. But I also don't like the idea of Top Gun forming much of the DCS Tomcat's identity (a little is fine). No music or new music is my vote. -Nick

Frisco1522 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 How about an easy way to add custom music and have the game randomly change them? Best of both worlds for everyone. Frisco1522
Mowgli Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 There is already a mod with the F-14 wallpaper and top gun theme, lets have something original!

Stealth_HR Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 It would be cheaper to commission a new track that just screamed late 80s. Something like the first track of this album. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Real men fly ground attack :pilotfly: where EVERYTHING wants a piece of you :D
Mainstay Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Some good tension build up music with real audio fragments of the Gulf of Sidra indecent of 1986 audio.
Sovons Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 It would be cheaper to commission a new track that just screamed late 80s. Something like the first track of this album. I agree! :thumbup: Anyway, this is most likely to happen since the themes of most existing modules uses tracks from the time of the aircraft.

mjmorrow Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I would go with something from Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix, of Two Steps from Hell fame. An example of something recent from Two Steps from Hell: ${1} [sIGPIC]http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/mjmorrow76/SPAD%20of%20a%20new%20generation_zpshcbftpce.png[/sIGPIC]
McBlemmen Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I'm 99% sure there will be a new custom track for it , but if i had to pick it would be the guitar theme since i don't believe a DCS soundtrack should have vocals in it. I'm sure the soundtrack will be fine , but luckily enough modding it is pretty simple (let's hope it stays that way with DCS 2). If possible i will definately make it something top gun related unless the real track really blows me away. 1
Wizard_03 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 'You've lost that lovin feelin' should play every time you get shot down. DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer:
Veles Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 funny guys :doh::lol:... find something to discuss ... yes. I do not care what will be the intro music. the main thing that the module was made
Frisco1522 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 i don't believe a DCS soundtrack should have vocals in it. +1 Key point for me too. I voted for Top Gun but I would still love something with a very 80's feel to it. Frisco1522

TomOnSteam Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I guess the cool thing about PC's is that you can have a playlist of your own choosing playing in the background while you fly :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode
Veles Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 so I believe that this conversation is empty. when the module is ready, you can put any music.
