Hi, anyone know ho i unlock the Achievment:

How Heavy Am I?!
Use truck scale or weigh station with gross vehicle weight of at least 170,000 lbs (requires Heavy Cargo Pack DLC)

because even the heaviest cargo is to light to reach 170 lbs :/ any ideas what im doing wrong ? , i use the PTB 389

I used the default 399 with sleeper and with the transformer trailer and a near full tank; mine came to 170,300lbs. I think this is the only trailer that can earn the achievement as it's the heaviest.

Yes. But. SCS developers have said that fuel has no weight. The reason they haven't included the fuel weight is because it changes, whereas the load/truck does not.
Max from SCS has stated at SCS Forums that the fuel calcs in terms of the shifting weight would wreak havoc with prism 3d engine.
And yet, as we have seen and as I have only just witnessed on my own delivery that the standard SCS trucks plus transformer on a weigh bridge does not reach 170,000lbs without the tanks being full.
Mine just now was 169,600lbs. 400lbs short but my fuel tanks were only 3/4 full.

You need to use the long chassis of the 389 (full fuel tank makes a difference. test it out).

Yep that's what I got. 300gal. But as I said, SCS are adamant that fuel has no weight. Bizarre.

I did this a week ago for a similar thread.


Drive on the scales.

Add 48 gals fuel and drive on again.

334 lb added to gross weight.

Possitive proof that fuel is added to gross weight.

So, obviously, SCS have no idea what's in their own code LMAO

And yet oddly, there are images in the forum thread showing the exact opposite.

(In relation to the images above)

Fuel might not have an active effect in the game, which is what SCS meant, but IS calculated at a weigh station for a little more realism
