In order to create a completely seamless version they might need access to the masters of the music tracks, which they might not have. But it would still be quite easy to ask the guys at Finishing Move Inc. to create the loops themselves since they’re continuing to compose music for the marketing material (the recent Japan trailer being an example). I will give it a go myself at some point with what we have.
I do hope they will keep adding tracks though. None of the current menu music options really do it for me, and either of the music tracks I already suggested or the pre-order trailer music would make for great additions to the selection. I wouldn’t like to completely turn it off.
Here’s a mock-up of what a main menu music suite based on the trailer music would sound like. Honestly it should be extremely easy for the composers to create seamless looping versions of those tracks, the only real problem is the loop of the pre-order trailer track ending abruptly but that’s an issue with the original mix as well.
In these mock-ups the tracks loop twice before fading out. I think it would be a good addition.
Oh awesome! Hey, are these Youtube videos? If so, what’s the link? I can embed the videos in the first post (giving you credit of course) so when people read the first post, can click on your video and get an idea of how the menu can be made better!
And we can also make new threads (maybe on Reddit and Avsim) with your videos and draw more attention to this post.
Also, for the 1st and 3rd videos, which exact trailers did you get it from (can you give the link to the trailer you got it from?), so when I embed your videos, I can point out the trailers you got the music from. Thanks!
They are not on YouTube, I uploaded them directly to the forum. You should be able to download them by clicking on the three dots on the bottom right, and then you can upload them again on the main post.
The music for the loading screens is from the Around the World trailers, which has the same thematic motif as the pre-order trailer track.
Do you mind if I upload it to Youtube? In this MSFS forum, I can download an reupload the video again. But in other forums like Avism, I think it needs a video server host like Youtube. If you don’t want me to upload it to Youtube, then I guess we can only post in this forum only.
No problem, feel free to post them wherever you like. The more people that support the addition of new menu music tracks the better. The current selection is too boring.
I really like the variety of music that each of these World Update trailer videos receives. It would be a nice touch for MS/Asobo to make those available as an in-game music choice in the AUDIO setting tab. For old simmers, remember all the menu music choices on FSX?
I agree with gadwin777, to be able to add my own music as another option in MSFS2020, the same way we did in FSX.
My personal choice would be “You and I” from Celine Dion, when Air Canada revealed its new livery colours back in 2004. Play that song and you’ll see what I mean - it’s all about flying!
