I read for about 90 minutes and signed up to download the mod. When I realized I had no idea what to do with it I found an instructions thread. It was written way before October 17 so will that method still work? I'd like to have simple means of playing online without getting my VAC messed with.

Just a heads up, deathmonkey: Mods for offline play or private servers can be great and fantastic. I have tried a few mods for OFFLINE play that were generously shared by several fellow 1C Forum members here and they were brilliant. However, Mods as you describe for online play that give you an unfair advantage over fellow players on PUBLIC SERVERS are bad, really bad. This is regarded as cheating in the online public server community. As made clear by the mod creators themselves, this is not the intention of these modifications and would constitute an abuse of their being made available.
As this is your first post in this forum, I would tend to think you aren't aware of this.......yet you also express knowledge of Steam's VAC function and policy, which implies you ARE aware of the cheating aspect to some degree.
I can only speak for the ATAG public servers, but we have a zero tolerance for any form of hack or cheating on our servers. I would think most public server admins feel the same.
Good flying,
