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!
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!!!!
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?
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 TH-cam 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 =)
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.
Another top video about XP 11! Though I am unsure if I should go for XP 11 or switch from FS9 to P3D. I was able to have a look at XP10 and the thing I missed was a in-sim flightplaner like the one from FS9 or P3D.
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!
Very informative, it's great that the people who make these mods to help and improve X-plane and even for free just like your many videos you have made for all to see which must take time so you all are must congratulated on what you are doing to promote what is going to be the number 1flightsim. I've had to put my flight sim flying on hold due to some health problems but at least I can watch your excellent informative and entertaining videos. I like the intro of this one very Thomas looking.
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)
Thanks for sharing this! I have been using Reshade with XP 11 but was using the latest versions, which breaks the map window in XP. This one keeps the map window functional. Thanks again for sharing Osamah!
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).
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.
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!
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?
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
Correction to the installation (Fixes "nothing happened after Reload pressed" problem) When inputting the path into the *"Effects Search Path"* box, you should have the path to the *"Shaders"* folder inside the *"reshade-shaders"* folder that you moved into the X-Plane directory, not just the main X-Plane directory. When inputting the path into the *"Texture Search Path"* box, you should have the path to the *"Textures"* folder inside the *"reshade-shaders"* folder that you moved into the X-Plane directory, not just the main X-Plane directory. The path should look the same as the video from "~X-Plane 11\..." Only then will it actually load the shaders. I also had problems trying to load the presets as the path was not correct. After manually inputting the correct path with one of the presets (using the little plus symbol next to the drop down list) it found the rest for me.
That looks great Osamah it makes a big difference it looks like PTA but for X Plane should i upgrade from XP10 to 11 now or wait till V1 is out i'm itching to try 11 :)
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!!!
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?
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?
I think I have commented the wrong video.. I had a question for you! Is reshade very heavy? (in terms of cpu and GPU). Or perhaps it does not really affect performance?
Great video thx. I tried it out on my system and it looks amazing especially if you have ZL 17 and higher ortho. For me running at 4k maxes out my 980 ti to 99% and uses all 6gb of vram, if I disable reshade the gpu drops to around 85% and 5.8gb. Still getting 25+ frames but I havnt gone anywhere too taxing yet. Cant wait till the 1080ti comes out!!
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/
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
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. ;) 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!
Such an awesome channel, you and lunas world explain things step by step really well for some of the tricky stuff! Thanks a lot for existing 😂 saves me a lot of time. However for some reason when I click the reload button nothing happens..
Q8Pilot thanks but I copied everything you did in terms of where I installed it but when I open the reshade interface in XP11 it says my path is in the E: not the C: which my XP11 is in like yours. I then change this E: to the C: then hit reload and I don't get the little message at the top of the screen like you did nor does anything happen when I click my effects toggle key. Also my home screen within the reshade menu only has the path at the top which shows E: \X-Plane 11 etc not C: which it should be possibly causing nothing to appear
Excellent as ever, thank you. Just one issue - some Windows users experience a Hang with this add-on when shutting down XP11 and Task Manager is then required to close XP.
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
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...
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
The problem it looks like some of us have, right off the bat, is that the reshade is an exe file, there's nothing to be unzipped. Maybe reshade has changed their structure, but right from the get-go, its impossible to follow these instructions, as far as I can tell. Thanks for the effort here though.
Reshade 3.0.4 is an older version of Reshade. Mine is 4.2.1 a later version. I notice this video was published in 2017 - things have changed! Shift + F2 does nothing on 4.2.1.
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

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!!!!
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.
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 =)
Bro thanks so much!! I did this while waiting for my Ortho4xp to download :). Thanks again!
Thank you Q8Pilot! my favorite X-Plane channel, as always the best content and tutorials!
Thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it!
Reshade really improves the sim, did a preview video a few days ago, rally makes the colors pop.
Just watched your video....very nice channel and video =) Might get in touch for some DCS help. Thanks buddy!
Q8Pilot Thank you, just give me a shout anytime for DCS, thanks for sharing the install of reshade with the community!
Yeah and also crashes the game a lot :(

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.
Love the way using Reshade allows you to make XP look like P3D!
I tried to install but when i downloaded the .zip i only got one executable file and no others
shift+f2 not working. Also tried pressing home but did not work as well
its so beautiful that made me cry
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

thank you! it's ruff watching all these videos and not having a gamer pc or xplane 11! 😢😢😢😢😢
Favorite flight sim channel on TH-cam, and I know a lot of channels.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am most humbled!
Dude this is awesome news. I will be trying this out asap.
Thank you
Most welcome my friend, thank you for watching!
Best intro i ever seen
Nice vid. What are you using for your clouds?
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
I admire you so much! Great job as always!
Thank you sir, appreciate your kind words!
thanks a Lot!! that was the big Thing that I missed in xplane
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!
Nice vid! This is just what I needed, a utility that removes that fog
Thanks for sharing.. This makes a big difference to the xp environment
Thanks for watching my friend!
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! :(
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
that intro... WOW!!!
Correction to the installation (Fixes "nothing happened after Reload pressed" problem)
When inputting the path into the *"Effects Search Path"* box, you should have the path to the *"Shaders"* folder inside the *"reshade-shaders"* folder that you moved into the X-Plane directory, not just the main X-Plane directory.
When inputting the path into the *"Texture Search Path"* box, you should have the path to the *"Textures"* folder inside the *"reshade-shaders"* folder that you moved into the X-Plane directory, not just the main X-Plane directory.
The path should look the same as the video from "~X-Plane 11\..."
Only then will it actually load the shaders.
I also had problems trying to load the presets as the path was not correct. After manually inputting the correct path with one of the presets (using the little plus symbol next to the drop down list) it found the rest for me.
My X-Plane 11 keeps crashing when I try to open it with installed reshade and I dont know why...
Thank you for that. Looks good & your explanation of how to install & set up was very clear, Even I'll be able to do this one!!
Glad you enjoyed it Michael =)
Another awesome video! Subscribed!
Thanks a million Jasem and welcome to my channel sir!
Q8pilot thanks. Now I need your PC...LOL
It will be up for sale as soon as I finish building my new rig =)
Hey man really liked the video, thanks a lot. Is there any chance of you making more videos on how to improve xplane?
Sure thing!
There are another addons similiar to this called X-vision, I wonder which one is better
That looks great Osamah it makes a big difference it looks like PTA but for X Plane should i upgrade from XP10 to 11 now or wait till V1 is out i'm itching to try 11 :)
Hey Lee, thanks buddy! I would say get XP11 but don't delete XP10 yet =) Many aircraft still don't properly work in XP11.
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!!!
Did the installation as you intstructed but it does'nt work.
Love you a lot! Best youtuber ever!
oh I am most humbled. thank you my friend!
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 =)
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)
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?
I think I have commented the wrong video.. I had a question for you! Is reshade very heavy? (in terms of cpu and GPU). Or perhaps it does not really affect performance?
Yes it does have an impact on FPS, but the actual FPS hit will depend on your machine specs.
It doesnt work. Nothing happens when I press reload
Awesome I need to test this, thank you so much! :)
Most welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video thx. I tried it out on my system and it looks amazing especially if you have ZL 17 and higher ortho.

Still getting 25+ frames but I havnt gone anywhere too taxing yet. Cant wait till the 1080ti comes out!!
I am too waiting for 1080ti to come out. Building a new machine, somewhat of a real beast =) Will share the specs after the build and testing!
@@Q8Pilot will it run on medium spec pcs?
Thanks for that. What cloud mod are you using in that video?
Most welcome and thank you for watching. I am using xEnviro for weather generation.
You need a nuclear power-plant to run X plane 11 smoothly.
Great video again Osamah. You didn't mention the impact on fps.
Thanks buddy, the impact on FPS is about 5-6 on my machine. You may need to lower your settings a bit if you are running a low end machine for sure.
omg this is stunning man!!
Thanks =)
q8 pilot, its not working for some reason
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
Does this work on X-Plane 10? Another great video my friend!!
Staffelkapitän Most likely would. Just backup in case ;)
Amazing! How come I've never heard of that before?
Have you any plans to do a similar video for version 11.30?
Thanks for all your hard work!
Looks great, I too am wondering if this will work together with XEnviro?
I have XEnviro and this app cut my frame rates almost in half. I deleted the app and all is well again. It's too bad because it had some nice effects.
It does work with xEnviro. I didn't suffer much drop in FPS - about 5-6 only.
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/
Thank you I had n t heard of this mod .....looks promising
Thanks for watching Jan, give it a try. Folks are telling me it works on XP10 just as well.
Great job Osamah. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching =)
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
Wow! Very impressive. But I guess is not recommended to be used together with xEnviro, right?
I am using it with xEnviro without incident. Just slight drop in FPS.
I'll give a try! Thanks
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 ???
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.
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. ;)
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!
Does this work with the Steam version? I followed the video and X-Plane took a nose dive on FPS. Thank you for making such great content.
Thanks for your hard work and help!
Thank you for watching my friend =)
Such an awesome channel, you and lunas world explain things step by step really well for some of the tricky stuff! Thanks a lot for existing 😂 saves me a lot of time. However for some reason when I click the reload button nothing happens..
Glad you enjoy the channel my friend. Re your problem, make sure you select the location where the scripts are installed.
Q8Pilot thanks but I copied everything you did in terms of where I installed it but when I open the reshade interface in XP11 it says my path is in the E: not the C: which my XP11 is in like yours. I then change this E: to the C: then hit reload and I don't get the little message at the top of the screen like you did nor does anything happen when I click my effects toggle key. Also my home screen within the reshade menu only has the path at the top which shows E: \X-Plane 11 etc not C: which it should be possibly causing nothing to appear
this broke my x plane
How do we fix it again, it broke my xplane too fuk
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.
Good luck Q8, hope you find that fix, cheers, Bruce
Excellent as ever, thank you. Just one issue - some Windows users experience a Hang with this add-on when shutting down XP11 and Task Manager is then required to close XP.
Hi Bruce, yes a common issue with many users. No way around it at the moment. I am trying to find a fix =)
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
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.
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
The problem it looks like some of us have, right off the bat, is that the reshade is an exe file, there's nothing to be unzipped. Maybe reshade has changed their structure, but right from the get-go, its impossible to follow these instructions, as far as I can tell. Thanks for the effort here though.
You sure know how to make videos! Great Job.
Thanks a million Scott=)
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
This changes everything
Reshade 3.0.4 is an older version of Reshade. Mine is 4.2.1 a later version. I notice this video was published in 2017 - things have changed! Shift + F2 does nothing on 4.2.1.
I installed the files exactly like him, but if i want to open X Plane it crashes immediately. Any ideas?
