I'm not sure. :-/
Do you know the original effects file which it was?

It should be "fx_Vortices".  I just checked my Iris F-22 and F-15, and the wingtip effects looked normal.

Check to see if you have the "fx_smoke.bmp" in your effects texture folder.

It's not there. Is that most likely the problem?
