Spartan Exec Repaints?

I know the Spartan has had it's share of repaints since it's release, but what about "made for FSX" repaints? Anyone know of any that use the dds file format? I'm flying the Executive in the England to Australia Race over at RTW and wanted something other than the one gold version that was redone for FSX.
 
Sort of. I believe FSNW was able to acquire the model and import it into FSX. As I recall, the textures were converted to DDS format in the process.

It's a proper conversion to FSX native from Milton's original source files, not a mere portover.

Absolutely, the Spartan is now a real NATIVE FSX SP2 aircraft, with self-shadowing, bump_mapped textures (lovely rivets), and a spinning prop that displays properly in front of clouds and autogen.
It is not a port-over.
Same goes for the Howard 500, not a port-over, real native aircraft.
The Beech D-18 is still a port-over, it has not been converted yet, but it works pretty well nevertheless.
Same for the Dash 7, but this one has some gauge problems.
The Puss Moth is a port-over as well, but works almost perfect.

If you look in the SOH repaint library under the author's name 'Roger' you'll find several nice Spartan paints modified by Roger to work with the FSX model.
 
Where can I find the native SP2 FSX version? All I can find is the FS9 one...Thanks...
