Looking for FS9 VRS F-18E repaints

I have the FS9 version of the VRS F-18E and I am looking for repaints for it. Does anyone know where I can some repaints for this plane? I found a few (2 pages) on flightsim, but they were all retro and fantasy paints. I am not looking for those type of paints.

I do know how to convert FSX AI dds textures to use in FS9, could I do that with the VRS FSX paints?

I would start on the VRS forums. Simviation has many more FSX based paints, if one of the painters on the VRS forums provides details on how to convert to FS9, get them there. I've long since converted to FSX and all my FS9 based paints are gone.

The texture mapping of the FS9 and the FSX versions of the VRS F/A-18E is slightly different.
So simply converting the textures from dds format will not work.

Well that stinks. Last night I downloaded a couple of FSX textures and was going to convert then to FS9, but I guess that plan is out. :(

Guess I will take a look on the VRS forums.

There never was a version of the superbug for FS9, and in any case their AI is a little wonky.... by design I think.

I think Rip meant AI models like those now included with Tacpack (tankers).
