Hello:
      Someone made a couple of zip files that contains the door settings for most of the aircraft models. I would advise to download #233006 and #170221.  Both zip files can be found on the same page.  I am almost certain that the 777 exits are included in one of those files.  There is also information on that page that expains how to configure the exit your self, if needed.  So, choose and copy the model airplane exits that you want and paste it over the old configuration exits located in the airplane.cfg of the aircraft that you are going to use. Here is the link:

Hello again:
Press shift+e first, then release those keys, then press 2

Oh a few more tips: If you want to use the tail-hook and the wing fold, run FSX and go to the control settings and assign a key.

Ok, I will try to explain this as simple as possible.
There are a few aircraft models in where the jetways will not move or attach to the aircraft regardless of the exit configuration settings that you add and I do not know the reasons why. However, thats just a few and I do not believe the B777 is in that list.
I would suggest for you to use the exit configurations for the PAI B777model thats in one of those zip files.  If the jetway moves and attaches, but not correctly, then I would suggest for you to adjust the cordinates.
So for example, you will have the following numbers and cordinates for the main door exit similar to this:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
exit.0 = 0.4, 60.00,  -7.0,  8.00,0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)

So if the jetway does not attach correctly then the only numbers that you would need to adjust
are the last 3.
For instance:
60.00 = moving the jetway towards the front of the plane or near the back of the plane.
-7.0 =  moving the jetway left or right  (so it will touch the plane). In other words I am sure you don't want the jetway to get hidden inside the plane.
8.00,0 = moving the jetway up and down( towards the sky or towards the ground).
Hope this helps.
