• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

g max problem - CoCreate Instance () failed

Hi,...

I just installed g max and i got an error message. I have searched the forum, but couldn't find anything regarding this error. That's what it says:


CoCreate Instance () failed
Please check your registry entries
CSID {FO88EA74-2E8711D3-B1F3-00C0F03L37}


Can anybody help me on that?
 
Hi,

Humm, I have never seen that error before. Which gamepack did you install and did you start GMax with the special shortcut for that gamepack?
 
Hi Arno,

I installed the FSX SDK Gamepack from the SP1 and loaded up the oilrig scene.
When I open g max without a scene it does not appear. I did not try any other scene. I'll do that and if it doesn't appear it might be problem with the scene itself...

PS: Yes I use the shortcut from SDK folder.

Actually, I get the same error whether I open the OilRig example in GMax or Max8. After pressing one until all the "errors are acknowledged" the OilRig will load, and export just fine.

Save the loaded model as a new iteration, and from then on you will get no error messages.

The DC3 .max file exhibits the same CoCreation error(s) as well, yet it too will export just fine and - once resaved as a new file - the error(s) are gone! :eek:
 
To remove the ....CoCreate Instance () failed

Right click on the FSX_Gmax shorcut and run as administrator.
I had created a new Gmax on a new computer and when i copied my SDK files i was re using the FSX_Gmax shortcut. I created a new shortcut and this may have also removed the error.
