Open up the downloaded file, and copy over the panel folder which should have panel.cfg, and a few bmp files into the aircraft folder, replacing the original panel folder. Copy the gauges into either the FS2004/gauges or into the panel folder

would this also work for wing views, sounds, etc...?

Most of us just install panels and sound to the fsfsconv folder and then alias them to any aircraft:
The panel.cfg looks like this:

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.a320_marciano

Aliased panel.cfg files come default for many FS9 aircraft.

sound files are aliased the same way:
sound.cfg looks like this:
[fltsim]
// alias=beech_baron_58\sound
alias=beech_king_air_350\sound

The aliased panel will use any wingviews in th [VIEWS] section of the panel.cfg
