OK - I understand,
I am ashamed to say that I am new to Simviation and had not realized how many posts there had been on this topic - only just spotted the number of pages - duh.
Gonna start from the top - I have some reading to do!
Thanks for your patience!

No worries, we have all been in the same situation. Now that I've had some free time, I found a quick install guide I helped another guy with.
Well, first of all, decide which one you want. Wheather it be the british airways model, or the continental model. You decide.
Next, you will need to download one of the models. they are listed in sort of a confusing way so you will need to pay attention. I know you want the vc, so you will need to choose a model that has vc at the end of the title.
this is the one I used; OS772V2_GE90--L_VC model
THen, go to the panel section and download the vc panel sp1, and either of the texture files. THe 32 bit is if you have a pretty good computer with a good graphics card.
One you have all those, start arranging them into one main folder just like the default planes. You should have one folder that says the plane, like "posky 777 continental" This will have all the basics in it. Start putting the other parts in that folder like the panel. It will ask you to overwrite the original, say yes. And just do that for the other things. If you need reference, just look in the folder of a default plane to get an idea where things go. Once you get that sorted, give it a try and see if it shows in the sim. If it does, cool. Go and follow my instructions on getting the vc gauges working, and you will be all set.
Oh, and to top it off... I also download a realistic soundset for my planes. There are several good ones over at avsim for the GE90 for example. Just adds a bit more realism
*There have been some revisions since I posted those instructions before... so just get the latest files listed for whatever is needed.
