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
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 =)
Thank you Q8Pilot! my favorite X-Plane channel, as always the best content and tutorials!
Thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it!
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.
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..
Bro thanks so much!! I did this while waiting for my Ortho4xp to download :). Thanks again!
Thank you for your time and effort in making these videos, the instructions are very clear! Can't wait till X-Plane 11 releases on Steam.
Thanks for watching sir!
Very nice video dude.. have good flights..
With you the same and thanks for watching!
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 ???
I tried to install but when i downloaded the .zip i only got one executable file and no others
I've watched a bunch of your videos, and just wanted to say thank you sir for taking the time to do this......very much appreciated.....
Thanks for taking the time to write Richard and for watching the videos sir!
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 admire you so much! Great job as always!
Thank you sir, appreciate your kind words!
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)
Works perfectly on X-Plane 10 :) Thank you Osamah!
Anytime my friend, thank you for watching!
keep those great instructional videos coming... great work😉
Thank you for watching and for your kind words Tony!
Nice vid! This is just what I needed, a utility that removes that fog
thanks a Lot!! that was the big Thing that I missed in xplane
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
what was the music used in the beginning of the video?
Another awesome video! Subscribed!
Thanks a million Jasem and welcome to my channel sir!
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.
Thanks for your continuous encouragement Vic. I really appreciate it =)
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 =)
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 =)
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 :(
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 =)
Did the installation as you intstructed but it does'nt work.
nice you deserve more subs, love your videos and explanations
Thank you very much for your kind words!
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.
Thanks for watching! You will not regret XP11. You can download a demo and test it out.
Thx for your advice! XP11 looks really good out of the box and it flies very nice :)
Awesome I need to test this, thank you so much! :)
Most welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice, does it change the had lights you spoke about in a previous video sam?
I think it adds more bloom.
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!
Pleasure my friend, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
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 =)
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
Thank you so much! couldn't find the download for the old reshade, and the new ones were broken!
XP11 looks so amazing! Thank u for this great video :-)
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video.
Very Nice !! XP11 best sim ever !
Thank you sir!
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.
Favorite flight sim channel on UA-cam, and I know a lot of channels.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am most humbled!
Nice vid. What are you using for your clouds?
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!!!!
Love you a lot! Best youtuber ever!
oh I am most humbled. thank you my friend!
Have you any plans to do a similar video for version 11.30?
Thanks for all your hard work!
Dude this is awesome news. I will be trying this out asap.
Thank you
Most welcome my friend, thank you for watching!
Great job Osamah. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching =)
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!
Love the way using Reshade allows you to make XP look like P3D!
Hi there, i have manage to download the correct folder, i have installed it on the root of my x plane 11 just like as the video is showing, but there is still one problem, the image of the xplane has changed, but when i press Shift+F2 no menu pops up.
Many many thanks Q8 pilot ..I learnt a lot from your videos of xplane.
Most welcome George, glad you find the channel helpful!
Amazing Osamah ! wonderful Vid ! thank you for sharing with us, this is amazing !
Thank you for watching!
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?
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.
My X-Plane 11 keeps crashing when I try to open it with installed reshade and I dont know why...
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.
Good morning, I have installed reshade following your instructions. When I open X plane 11 I can see the window of reshade but in the home there aren’t all the things I see in your video. Can you help me?
Hello !
I have a problem with ReShade the Shaders do not want to apply when I select them ?
Thanks
same here
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!!!
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.
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!
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 can't find Reshade 3.0.4 any where online, the version that is provided is version 4.0 and it does not open the menu (Shift+F2) after successful installation.
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 ?
Thanks Really Help full your all videos
Great video! Thank you.
Most welcome, thanks for watching!
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..
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?
Thanks for sharing.. This makes a big difference to the xp environment
Thanks for watching my friend!
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.
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.
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 UA-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 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.
i become a ReShade_Setup_3.3.2.exe when i downloaded it pleas make a video how to install this pleas sir.
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)
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.
shift+f2 not working. Also tried pressing home but did not work as well
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.
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.
When I press the reload button, it begins loading everything, but then stops at 2 abd says that there is a compiling error...can anybody help me?
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.
I have a problem where I forgot the menu button for the reshade
can anyone help me reset the reshade settings or maybe fix it?
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
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
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!
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.
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
you take off from wry 27 in sandiego course needle set 093 frequency 110.90 after take off about 5 dme make a left at 1500 feet maintaining and fly one minute and right turn to 050 and intercept 093 but..devation needle in the wrong side??? a can not capture ils???
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?
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.
Need help followed your instruction changed both files to my c but after reload some still say e ??
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! :(
Thanks for your hard work and help!
Thank you for watching my friend =)
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?
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.
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
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!
hey i need help. once i download the preshade files, where do i put them?
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.
Hi. Thanks for your video. I have extracted the files as instructed to the root of the directory, but when I hit Shift-F2 nothing happens. I'm not running the game in multi-monitor.
omg this is stunning man!!
Thanks =)
q8 pilot, its not working for some reason
I installed the files exactly like him, but if i want to open X Plane it crashes immediately. Any ideas?
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?
