can somebody please advise on how to delete it as i have hit restore and then uninstall via the manager and yet still pops up when i launch msfs 2024.

Thanks

mike

I went from Optishade/DLSS 5 back to just running ReShade and Atmos Core, and I was in your position - how do I uninstall all the unnecessary stuff I no longer want or need?

My simple answer for you (and this may ruffle a few feathers) is AI. I explained my situation to ChatGPT and they held my hand through the entire uninstall process, to ensure the correct ReShade files were left untouched and still functional afterwards, it all worked a treat.

thank you for your response ,i did use AI to help with uninstall also which i had followed all instructions and have deleted all necessary files etc in content of msfs and yet it still activates when i load msfs 2024., i must be missing something.

I had the same issue... so deleted the folders that housed anything 'Opti" ... then deleted the Reshade ini file.. after doing that, reshade didnt show up.. this is assuming you used the restore to original option :)

None of these vibecoded programs people are pushing out there ever delete files properly when uninstalling which is why I recommend to install files manually that way you know what you put where.

Optishade wasn't vibecoded.

V1 is out now for public testing... looks absolutely stunning in MSFS2024... great app indeed!

Personally, I did not manage to get NR to work in MSFS2024 with the latest Optishade (not v1.0). In contrast to the old way presented in a YT video using the very specific v.0.7.6 release of Optiscaler and some NR files to be copied over. This is the one and only approach that successfully integrates NR into my sim, all other approaches fail(ed). So I installed the old variant that does work again and dont tinker any longer...

Make sure you're using the latest files of these mods since there has been many updates since 0.7.6 released. I am also using these two mods together since their FG implementation seems to be a bit more reliable than DLSS Enabler on its own. They are now using version 4.9 of DLSS Enabler.

As mentioned, with any newer build of Optiscaler, with Optishade etc, I do not get DLSS5 NR to work on my build. Dont ask me why, but it really only works with the very specific release that was mentionend (and thankfully linked) in said video.

If I use the most recent releases of all components, I simply dont get NR running. Tried it several times now to no avail. And lets be honest, it is in any case a hack, so why should I bother anymore about never versions, if I have a variant that is running?
