ReShade works fine with X-Plane. Though I recommend using 3.0.4 as that's the last good version, everything after just introduced weird artifacts when using some of the shaders; http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36509-reshade-version-304-xp11/ -- Just make sure you change the shader / texture path in the settings, as they point to the uploader's paths. 

All the paths for shaders and textures are correct, but i really can´t load reshade in XP11, nor even the version 3.0.4. In the file opengl32.log i get the following error: "Your graphics card does not seem to support OpenGL 4.3. Initialization failed." Could this be the problem?

The batchfile is named killxplane.bat and contains the command Taskkill /IM X-Plane.exe /f

I then created a shortcut to that batch file on my desktop. The target is: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C C:\Users\[YOURUSER]\Desktop\killxplane.bat.

Pin the shortcut to the taskbar and one click closes down x-plane instantly. 

Thanks again for the tip.

I created the batchfile and it does a good job closing XP11. I dropped the file into the xp 11 folder, created a short cut and dropped it to the desktop.

Both files will close XP 11 successfully when double clicked, but when I tried to "pin to the taskbar" the batchfile fails to close XP11.

This is not a big deal since I still need to switch to window mode in XP 11.  What I'd prefer is to use a keyboard shortcut to execute the batchfile, but I have not been able to successfully shut XP11 down with the batchfile and a keyboard shortcut associated with the file.
