The 777 uses avionics and systems software from Sim-Avionics which was developed specifically for the 777 by software engineer Mark Hastings in the UK and now being sold through Flight Deck Solutions and is compatible with FSX and P3D via FSUIPC and XP-10 64bit via XPUIPC v2.0. The other professional option for the 777 is Project Magenta.
As for other avionics options for a more generic experience I am using SimAvio2 by FlyThisSim for X-Plane 10 and I’m also looking at FSXpand or Panel Builder by SimPlugins for both P3D and X-Plane.
