Another high quality video from Q8 ! If you love X-Plane you have to love this channel
Thanks buddy, appreciate your kind comment =)
Shevchenkocss I do love this channel
I agree
Q8 is short for kuwait, just say Q8pilot
After putting the files into my root folder I load up xp. Hitting shift F2 brings up the same screen as you but without the options for the different effects. I made sure it is loading from the root folder and not the one it had from default. I've tried reloading and selecting different .ini but nothing changes. Any ideas?
Same with me..
I tried to install but when i downloaded the .zip i only got one executable file and no others
Once again, thanks for your generosity and dedication.
With pleasure my friend, thank you for watching!
Where do i get the right folder path?
Can sombdy help me 2:17 about the sharers and texture part. mine is E not C?
Daniel Ford me too I have no idea what to do. Have you found it out yet?
I dont know too, on my screen its E too.
Bro thanks so much!! I did this while waiting for my Ortho4xp to download :). Thanks again!
Very nice video dude.. have good flights..
With you the same and thanks for watching!
Hey, so a number of people have had problems with the whole "Reshade not showing up in sim". MAKE SURE you do these things:
1.) The installation file must be unzipped... its direct contents must be placed directly into the X-Plane 11 main folder, NOT "Custom Scenery".
2.) When opening the ReShade menu through "Shift + F2", go to the "Settings" tab. Where it says "Shaders Path", open up your X-Plane folder on your desktop (or wherever else it may lurk on your computer), open "reshade-shaders", then open "Shaders". Copy the COMPLETE folder directory from this window (on the top), and paste it into the "Shader Path" section.
2a.) Complete this step again, except for the "Textures Path" section, open "reshade-shaders" in the X-Plane 11 folder, then "Textures", and use THAT folder path.
3.) Go back to home, then press "Reload". That should work now that the shaders and textures are referred to exact folder paths on your computers. These paths MUST be manually inserted as of now because they are usually incorrect when first launched in X-Plane 11.
4.) If STILL nothing loads for you when you enable the ReShade with the hotkey ("ScrollLock" is default, but I recommend "Shift + ScrollLock", note this:
If anyone has problems actually loading the .ini files from the "Home" tab, know that almost any folder path in the ReShade menu that starts with "E:\" is probably wrong, as most peoples' X-Plane folders are installed in the default Windows "C:\" directory, with exceptions.
To fix this, open the "OPENGL32" file you installed in the X-Plane root folder. Make sure you open the "Configuration Settings" file, NOT the .dll or .txt files. In OPENGL32, under [GENERAL], change ALL OF THE FOLDER PATH extensions starting with "E:\" to that ACTUAL HDD/SSHD/SSD folder path your X-Plane 11 is installed in (ie: "C:\" or "D:\"). This will further ensure that ALL Shaders, Textures, and .ini preference files are being loaded from a path that actually exists on your computer. ;)
Make sure to restart X-Plane for these changes to take effect!
Note: I was having problems, even when watching this video. By doing these things, I got ReShade to work. Cheers, and good luck! Thanks to Q8Pilot for an awesome demonstration of ReShade!
and when Shift F2 does nothing even when it is installed right?
For me pressing "Shift + F2" pulled up the menu. Make sure the contents of the ReShade package are unzipped into the root X-Plane folder.
Joe N. What do you mean copy from directly from shaders file I've copied the hole shader folder but nothing is pasting on the f2 menu
You sir, are a god. Thanks!
thankyou!!!!
My X-Plane 11 keeps crashing when I try to open it with installed reshade and I dont know why...
shift+f2 not working. Also tried pressing home but did not work as well
Thanks, but shiftF2 starts up the window. The Paths are correct however pressing reload on the home page does nothing. I checked the paths on the homepage and they match the ones in strings. any idea?
Did you direct it the path to the folder that you installed to your xp11 root folder? (reshade-shaders)
Fantastic vid Osamah! After watching this vid, I'm definitely buying X-Plane 11 today. it began bugging me (more quality and a far less expensive for addons, etc.) I bought P3D 2 weeks ago (Glad they have a 60 day refund policy-returning it). I enjoyed P3D and even picked up the 747 V3 (RIP wallet) but then I began to realize that in the long run, the amount of $$ that I would be spending to update the sim/rebuy aircraft (the PMDG 777 and NGX WITH the expansions is $300) and new versions (V4, V5, etc.) wasn't worth it, whereas XP has some great FREEWARE tools like you described above that make the sim look stunning. As you know, I had XP 10 but removed it from my SSD cuz of PC issues. If I didn't have problems, would I pick up P3D? No, absolutely not! I tried the demo only need a new PSU cuz of random power failures with the demo (bad PSU lol)
in version 1.0.2 of x plane it does not work when i press shift + F2. Can you tell me how to fix it or fix the bug? Thanks bye
Did the installation as you intstructed but it does'nt work.
when i press shift+f2 nothing happened
Same thing here. What do you mean with “home”
BlueTee do you press shift+home+f2 or home the shift+f2
MB12 did you get if you did can you tell me what you did
@@notgrain4864 I gave up on it ... :(
this broke my x plane
How do we fix it again, it broke my xplane too fuk
By far one of the best freeware addons for x plane to improve visual quality. Thanks q8 once again for such another priceless contribution. Keep up the good work!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it =)
I use The Ultimate mod since it has good compatibility with other mods: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/38913-xp11-theultimate-mod/
i become a ReShade_Setup_3.3.2.exe when i downloaded it pleas make a video how to install this pleas sir.
Please Pin: I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, YOU GOT TO PUT IN THE SLASHES \.....FOR EXAMPLE C:\Program Files (x86)\X-Plane 11\Shaders-Scenery.....blah blah blah.......it worked,
also I did what Jon below advised: To fix this, open the "OPENGL32" file you installed in the X-Plane root folder. Make sure you open the "Configuration Settings" file, NOT the .dll or .txt files. In OPENGL32, under [GENERAL], change ALL OF THE FOLDER PATH extensions starting with "E:\" to that ACTUAL HDD/SSHD/SSD folder path your X-Plane 11 is installed in (ie: "C:\" or "D:\"). This will further ensure that ALL Shaders, Textures, and .ini preference files are being loaded from a path that actually exists on your computer. ;)

Note: I was having problems, even when watching this video. By doing these things, I got ReShade to work. Cheers, and good luck! Thanks to Q8Pilot for an awesome demonstration of ReShade!
I installed reshade today after watching the video and found out it will not work in x plane 11 if you are running 3 monitors in full screen mode. As soon as you open up x plane 11 the reshade program opens and it is frozen you can not do anything but use task manager to get out. Has anyone else had the same issue?
Oh that's a real shame!
According to the author it only supports one monitor (as of now, at least. I would think.).
Q8Pilot j
no cause i dont think anyone runs 3 monitors :)
Yup confirmed - also running 3 monitors and just experienced the same thing - had to remove it - shame because it looks nice! :(
is it just me or u feel it to but this guy sounds like the fnaf sister location voices when we're on the elevator ahaha but thx for makin this bideo
Can new version work for xp 11.00 ¿¿
It doesn't work with Flightfactor Boeing 777-200. After the installation the FMS isn't displayed correctly anymore and I cannot use it. Works for other planes.
Update: I found the solution for this here:
forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/26938-reshade-opengl-shader-injector-fmccdu-fix-ramzzess-777-flighfactor-757/
Just found your channel, this is the first vid ive watched, and ive gotta say, i subbed after 2 minutes, youre so chill, you show and explain very well, +1 sub and like buddy!
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! Welcome to my channel =)
Thank you so much! 2 things: one, will this mess up your sim or FPS? two, if so, how do you uninstall it easily? Do you have to painfully find all the files again? THanks so much!
can you make a video on how to uninstall it?
did you got through?
Thanks for this great tutorial. X-Plane looks absolut fantastic with this modification.
Regards from Berlin
Thanks for watching! Glad this was useful for you. Regards from Kuwait =)
got a 50% frame hit.. from 45fps down to 22-18 wtf.. ill stick with bluFX instead
i7-6700k at 4.5ghz
Strix 1080
16ig ram
where the fries?
Do a video on how to make your FPS better, and the graphics at the same time
Does it work for the demo version of X plane 11
It should yes!
nice you deserve more subs, love your videos and explanations
Thank you very much for your kind words!
X plane 11 crashes directly from beginning on after putting the files in there... Help!
raphael welti, dude same thing happened to me. It was annoying as hell....googled it....and found a solution....u just need to disable your Intel graphics driver from device Manager...and U will be fine
Hello !
I have a problem with ReShade the Shaders do not want to apply when I select them ?
Thanks
same here
Hi dear, I'm using triple monitors on my homemade Cockpit, how can we turn off the digital cockpit on our screen, and replace it with Hud and prop for using homemade Cockpit . There is an option on pull down menus but it shows only digital airspeed and altitude on front panel but no Hud and prop. Thanks
I’m going to ask that I have an Mac computer I know it only for windows but if I get an window keyboard and press Shift+f2 on the window keyboard and not Mac will the settings pop up because on the Mac keyboard it don’t work
you can hit shift F2 on Mac but if it only runs on windows it wont work......that why it says it runs on windows
But will it work if you have an window keyboard? And not an window computer a Mac computer because I don’t know if it counts on what computer you have or what keyboard you have so I’m just asking do you need to have an Mac and a window keyboard or a window computer and windows keyboard?
Because both key boards are not the same
I got the same problem as Robert Riley with reshade causing X-Plane 11 to crash on start up.
Won't work in a multi monitor setup ???
Crash every exit of x plane 11 , its sad cuz it´s an amazing mod, but uninstall for that
I realize some are having the same issue. Sorry!
I put the 1000th like. I haven't watched it all yet but I couldn't resist :)
Edit: like was deserved after all, clear skies friend!
Thanks a million my friend =)
everyone who has a problem, check the path to the Shaders and Textures folders in OPENGL32.ini conf. located in X Plane 11 installation folder. in my case it is:
[GENERAL]
PerformanceMode=0
ScreenshotPath=D:\Program Files (x86)\X Plane\X-Plane 11
EffectSearchPaths=D:\Program Files (x86)\X Plane\X-Plane 11
eshade-shaders\Shaders
TextureSearchPaths=D:\Program Files (x86)\X Plane\X-Plane 11
eshade-shaders\Textures
No luck on my end. Folders are where they are supposed to be. Used the .exe. Confirmed the .ini looks correct. Shift F2 doesn't bring up anything
Using Vulkan 64
Xplane 11.51b3
Intel i9
Geoforce RTX 2070 Super
It doesnt work. Nothing happens when I press reload
Just wanted to let you know that this works great but I had a few issues. 1. Xplane will not quit, it hangs 2. The program broke Fly Inside. Not cool.... Do you use Fly Inside? Perhaps I am doing something wrong.Thanks again for all your great videos.
No matter what I do to any mod I can never install it on x plane 11 and actually make it work. When ever there was a plugin and I went to put it in my plugin folder in x plane 11, I never could because I didn't have a plug in folder to start with. For reshade when I pressed Shift + F2, the menu wouldn't pop up even after following Q8"s instructions. If anyone could possibly help me solve this problem, it would be well appreciated.
I was wondering if anyone can help with this small problem. I have installed this reshader and it works great how ever when I go to shut down X-plane the program splash screen and the reshader info won't go away, it just stays frozen on my screen. The only way to shut down X-plane is to do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and start the task manager to completely shut down X-plane. Any ideas why X-plane won't shut down without doing this? X-plane shuts down normally when I remove the reshader files but not when they are installed. Thanks.
Causes crash with FF757v2 on load screen but works with every other plane on XP11 for me. On XP 10, 757 loads but FMC looks weird; for that I was able to find a replacement file to fix the issue on forums.
Thx OSAMAH for this cool video, even though i'm not a big fun of post processing effects..Maybe i can give it a try, i don t have xp11 yet.Does it work in xplane 10?
Osamah I need help. My X-Plane 11.41 crashes with ReShade installed. I notice X-Plane 11 workes perfectly without the opengl32.dll file but ReShade won't work.
IT NOT WORK :(
Does adding it result in the loss of frame rates??I Have a i5 4200u 1.6ghz Intel HD Graphics 4400 and a 4GB RAM
Any tip would be appreciated
Hi there, i hope you are doing fantastic this day, i have installed reshade on my xp11 and everything looks to be working normal, although there is one problem that is making me furious, is that when i open up the for ex. the flight computer and convert it as a windows file and transfer to the second monitor or even remaining on the first monitor it says that is download some remaining files, it never finish to download and the computer becomes extremely slow, and when i close the windows it comes back to normal... Any help
ex. Loading (4 effects remaining)... This might take a while. The application could become unresponsive for some time.
I've been doing some experimenting with hardware for Xplane 11 and I have found that on my 4 core 8 thread i7 turning Hyperthreading OFF can give you better performance if your also running various addons. I found this especially noticeable if your using Exenviro for weather.
I noticed higher frames and smoother flights in bad weather using Exenviro where as when Hyperthreading was enabled I had loss of frames especially in bad weather to the piont where I simply turned Exenviro off.
Turning Hyperthreading off not only gave me much better performance in Xplane 11 but also the cpu temps where down 10 degrees.
I tried the same test on my 8 core i7 and noticed that it also made a difference but not as noticeable as the 4 core.
Maybe other Captains might give it a try, especially if you are using a 4 core 8 thread cpu and see if it makes a difference ie smoother experience, this seems to especially help if you use Exenviro in lots of cloud coverage etc.
Thank you very much for this valuable tip!
Installed Reshade 4.7.0 . Nothing happens when pressing Shift + F2 after X-Plane 11 launched. Reshade.cfg shows installation was in the correct X-Plane folder.
Hello, very good video, thank you. But unfortunately, I can't find the link to the file. Could you please help me? I am sorry as I am new to this. Thank you very much.
nice video... i have a questionon my xplane... the plane itself is covered by shadow..when i turn the HDR off but if i turn on ..one LARGE shadow show up... you know how fix that? thank you..
Does reshade help deal with the colcour banding in the sky from the sun/ moon at dawn/dusk?
Was expecting that to have been adressed already by BETA dev, but it seems we might not see that until full release...
No it doesn't. xEnviro helps a bit though.
Cheers for reply.
Shame about that. Guess I'll just have to keep waiting.
gr8 one bro ! I have this Cabin altitude problem everytime I fly with jar,ssg a ramzzess,as the plane starts decent from 30k + feet the engines goes idle and results in Cabin Autitude alarm ,packs 1 2 and 3 goes off and cabin goes really dark,overhead panel doesn't have a switch that will fix it or does it ?
Never had this problem. Did you check the log file? Are you running any weather add ons?
I did everything you say and nothing happens
same here
same
Make sure that the selected mode has the right folder path.
Tiramisu Corleone how?
I think it was in the home tab. You have to select the right folder path in the dropdown.
This download is an .exe file not a Plz Open folder. Totally confused here. Certainly not going to run some strange .exe file. Don't know what you're talking about.
CAN SOME ONE HELP!!!
i got an error message and it says (inside game) Type of _param_texcoord different between shaders
hi there, when i press shiftf2 it opens the door of the aircraft instead of the reshade menu, any help plz
You will need to change the key which opens the aircraft door from shift + F2 to any other key or key combo! 👍
I have changed the key, but still the menu does not pop-up, know I am not sure if that was the way to change the key
Me to am having the same problem as Daniel Ford. Mine its E and not C every time I change them I press the reload button nothing happens I try many types of ways and when I click on the reload, still nothing happens. please somebody help me
I would like to buy xplane 11 but I don't know if there is any middle Eastern airport such as Kuwait and the countries around with middle East traffic?
When I press Shift+F2 using the Fn key, nothing shows up. I followed every instruction and reinstalled it over an over but it still doesn't work.
Hi there, i need some help, I did download the Reshade xp11 3.3.2, and the files looks way different the one you have unziped, does not even contain the folder called reshade, please any help
Does this work on X-Plane 10? Another great video my friend!!
Staffelkapitän Most likely would. Just backup in case ;)
Hello, i installed reshade and yes, it's beautifull. But the problem is that i can't quit Xplane in a normal way anymore. Anyone else with the same problem and what is the solution?
Any tips on getting this to work with a triple monitor setup? Locks up during load every time and apparently its not compatible with triple monitors. Trying to find a work around.
I use an iMac and nothing happens when I hit Shift +F2. Ive tried Shift +Fn+F2 and changing the Fn key set up in system preferences. Any ideas ?
Has it been tested with windows 10? The 'Show Log' button produces a separate popup error screen. There's no text below the 'Home' screen's search bar.
Q8Pilot I tried to instal Reshade. I copy the files into the main XPlane 11 folder but when I start the game the only thing it happens its a black screen flashes and then the game crashes.
your videos are usually great, but, this time something wasn't clear enogh for me. when you said what to change in the settings (2:11), i didn't understand a thing. i realise that the problen is with me because most of the people made it work but can you please some how be more specific on what to do? thanks.
Thanks for watching Guy! What is the part that is puzzling you?
Instead of getting plz open I get an .exe and it asks for the API the game renders I dont know what that is.
i cant like do slashes in the reshade program like i cant put in this
D:\gamess\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11
eshade-shaders\Shaders
I installed the shaders but when i open the menu i don't have these settings in the home tab.My directory is correct.I'd really appreciate it if you could help me.
There are another addons similiar to this called X-vision, I wonder which one is better
Am I the only one who is missing the sun after reshade? Yeah the SUN is gone! Reflections are fine but the sun itself gone missing. Anyone have this issue as well?
install won't let me click on any of the three buttons in the first screen of the install .exe file. This is totally useless. I'd love to find out if it's just me, or whether this is broken.
why cant i download it i have acount it tells me sorry you arent permitted to download this file please help me someone
Thank you Q8Pilot! my favorite X-Plane channel, as always the best content and tutorials!
Thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it!
I cant find the link that you have sent. And i also tried searching the name of the Reshade thing but it didnt come can you please reply with the link.
It's great, but you have to go through and manually enter in each and every preset's full path from the XP11 installation (and you can't copy and paste). I don't really want to take the time to do that.
I'm able to open the console for reshade with shift F2 but I dont have any presets? It's just blank?
Guys if your at the forums of the Reshade you`ll see a link saying reshade.me/ press it and then scroll all the way down then you`ll see the updated version
Thanks for the sharing. I have question, hope you can advice me. I installed alpilot’s HD Mesh Scenery V3, W2XP models and MisterX’s Airport Environment HD textures. However, road textures are really annoying and my scenery looks like web of asphalt roads with large sidewalks. Do you have any advice to fix it looks more realistic (or better)?
Do you mean that the scenery isn't looking correct or just not looking good?
Thanks Q8 for your great videos.
Unfortunately the plugin prevents X-Plane 11 from quitting giving an error on Win 10 for some users (as reported on the forum link on X-Plane.org), me included. It's very annoying and I believe I'll uninstall it after a while. Have you guys experienced this behaviour? Tested on X-Plane 11 rc1 on Win 10
Yes some have reported this issue!
Oh well, I give it a try and it didn't work!!
It's like Xplane 11 just didn't know it was installed, even the layout of the home screen didn't look like yours ie basically blank apart from the drop down list.
One thing it did do was mess up the Xplane 11 installer.exe, this is bad because I couldn't update xplane 11. This was down to an opengl32.dll.
Had to manually delete all of the files that was installed.
Luckily I had the upto date Xplane 11 b13 before I installed reshade. After deleting reshade everything works fine now with the Xplane 11 installer.exe.
Sorry it didn't work for you!
Reshade Drops my FPS by 20
Just not acceptable
Even without any effects enabled FPS drop by 15
Great video! I love these kinds of videos where users share their tricks on how to make x-plane look even better. Reshade definitely has a significant impact on framerate unfortunately (or at least it did for me).
Glad you enjoyed it buddy!
Hi just wanted to know you go so fast, do you install the copied file into global scenery? would appreciate it
when I try to adjust my HDG COURSE NEEDLE ILS FRQuency ALT VS Mouse is keept jumping wery hart to use mouse why???and zoom keept jumping why ILS course dev needleation needle is in the wrong side of course needle and can not capture ils

I really liked this idea but downloaded a later version. It didn't work and I'm disappointed. I'll keep working on it. Informative and excellent video. I'm also following your 'How To' videos. The first instalment on making RUclips videos has really put the hook in me to learn more. I'm officially 'old' next year, turning 70yo but I hope I meet you some day. This kind of reaching out to one another makes this world a wonderful place.
Hey there Jon, age is just a number and hopefully we can meet one day. I am very glad this was helpful for your and please do let me know if I can be of any further help =)
when I pressed Shift+F2 it didn't show up. by the way im on mac so maybe it doesn't work
I read on x-plane.org that it 3.0.4 only works for windows as of now.
x-plane.org: "Does not work on Mac and Linux, only Windows."
Hopefully they change that soon
forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36509-reshade-version-304-xp11/
Hi Osama,
Can you help me on how to completely uninstall the Reshade from my PC? I deleted every file related to Reshade in the mani X-Plane 11 folder but still, it's popping up when I start the X-Plane 11.
Thanks for your help
Hasan.
You need to delete the DLL file from the xplane root folder.
what was the music used in the beginning of the video?
Does this plugin still work? I tried installing just recently and it doesn't seem to work. FPS is super low and a logo/watermark overlays the middle right of the screen. Can't press the shift f2 to open the menu. Curious if anyone has this running on latest versions of XP11.10?
I haven't tested it on the latest version of XP11.
Hi mate, just a quick one, if you uninstall this by just removing it from your main Xplane 11 folder does everything revert back to default ie colour's???
I'm giving it a go but wanted to know if I don't like it will Xplane 11 restore to default after the Mod being removed.
MayDay GoingDown!! Yes it will. You could also just disable ReShade through a keybinding, like what was shown in the video.
Hi Osamah- I can install the files and it shows up in XP 11 but I cannot get it to enable. I have checked the path & everything I can think of, my file folder looks like yours. Any ideas? Thanks for this it looks very cool if I can get it working :) Rand
Disregard I figured it out thanks for this find it really makes Xp11 much better Thx my friend
thank you for your great video, by the way is it better than the old Blu-Fx ?
Thank you Jehad! I think it is far better yes!
Hi QBPilot! I'm looking forward to install Reshade on my X-Plane but I read in differents forums that it's hangs the X-Plane when you quit it. It's that true? Any personal experience about that? Thanks! And, as always, great vid!!!
I dont have PLZ OPEN file
