This is the eighth in the Mission of the Month series for Top Gun: Fire at Will for the PC. Since Mission of the Month #8 does NOT contain Missions of the Month #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5, you must have already installed Mission of the Month #5. If you have not already done this, you must download and install TGMOM05.EXE first and then install TGMOM08.EXE. Mission of the Month #8 does contain Missions of the Month #6 and #7. 

The Mission of the Month installer only works if you installed the standard version (40MB) or maximum version (140MB) of Top Gun. The Mission of the Month installer will not work if you installed the minimum version of the game (16MB). 

The Mission of the Month installer works with both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of Top Gun. 

Although the Mission of the Month installer will work with the German version of Top Gun, the mission text for the briefing and debriefing is only in English. 

To install the Top Gun Mission of the Month: 

1. Make sure you have 1.5MB (1500K) free on your hard drive. 

2. Copy the TGMOM08.EXE file into your \TOPGUN directory. 

3. Verify that your download of TGMOM08.EXE is OK by comparing the number of bytes in the file size. At the DOS prompt, type "DIR TGMOM08.EXE" and the number should be approximately 276,489 bytes. 

4. Type "TGMOM08" at the DOS prompt to run the executable. The TGMOM08.EXE file must be run from your \TOPGUN directory. The file will automatically self-extract and decompress the Mission of the Month installer files into that directory. 

5. Type "ADDMOM" to install the Mission of the Month #8. The installation may take a few minutes, depending on your computer. 

6. When the update is finished, you can type "CLEANUP" to delete the no longer needed files from your \TOPGUN directory. 

You can verify that your copy of Top Gun has added Mission of the Month #8 by selecting "Instant Action" from the Main menu. Then scroll down to mission #28 and you should see "Cuba '96/8."
