GT182 They have a transponder for trucks now called pre pass/ ez pass. its a litte blue box that goes in the windshield. If im not mistaken there is oe in the trucks in game. it allows the driver to bypass toll booths on some toll roads ny automatically paying the toll and scales if the inspector on duty decides to let the truck pass. if you look before you come to a scale house you will see signs saying to follow in cab signal. That red or green light you're seing in the game is basically the same thing just a game branded version of the pre pass/ ez pass transponder.

Does this mod work on ATS v1.29
GT182 6 Dec, 2017 @ 2:00pm 
In my years of trucking across America I've never seen a "Free Pass" for scales like in ATS. If you went slow enough when you first pull into some weigh stations it checks your weight and they'll signal you to go left and pass on thru. If you are heavy on an axel, or over weight they'll have you keep right and go on to the scales. On holidays "some" scales close for that day. Other times they're just closed or only open certain times of the day... maybe open during the day and closed at night, or just the opposite. And some scales are open 24/7/365, but not all do that. This mod is getting closer to the way it really is.

Can you retry this on a fresh save? I'll look into it if my mod causes crashes.

I feel like SCS should look at this site and program each state's weigh station requirements into the game.

Weird, I always have to go in to weigh stations even without this mod.
The Bandit 22 Jun, 2016 @ 9:00am 
thanks and keep up the good work

Valjorge, sorry I can't make that it is not possible unless SCS builds it in

IRL if a scale house is closed you go by. But if a scale house is open you half to pull in unless you have prepass. But even prepass gets pulled in every now and then. When a scales open you pull in and they either let you pass or pull you in on the scale if they have two lanes. You don't always get slaced IRL.
The Bandit 16 Jun, 2016 @ 11:06am 
Could you make a mod were all Truck AI pull in to the weight station
DemonZAnthony 16 Jun, 2016 @ 8:53am 
yamha they are real scales
ursidae, they don't, but you must pull in no matter what; if you don't, it's a huge fine
UrsidaeClay 15 Jun, 2016 @ 4:30pm 
Been getting weighed once a run as intended, so no issues there. One thing I did notice (perhaps mistakingly, I'll verify this) is that the GPS doesn't re-route onto the scales, so I have been fined once for driving past.
TheKnoife  [author] 15 Jun, 2016 @ 12:14pm 
To everyone having issues, I'm looking into it but I have no idea how this is happening. Only thing I can think of is that a mod that you are using also uses the trigger_action.sii file which will conflict with my mod.

It's either my mod or their mod to make it simple. Nothing I can do about it because the game does not allow 2 of the same filenames to be loaded at the same time.

Maybe it can help if you put my mod as the highest prioritised.

If else fails, ask your mod maker for a special version.

Slothfist, that's what I want too but I am not able to change it that way because of how the weigh system is set up. It's only a chance of having to weigh which I don't like. I made this because I want to see more challenge from SCS.

i have yet to be scaled at the fuel station certified scales..do they work or is it just the normal scale houses?...i like this mod,it adds some realism..if its open you scale...
UrsidaeClay 14 Jun, 2016 @ 11:14pm 
Been using this since it popped up here and like it... breaks up the monotony of the freeways.
Sloth 14 Jun, 2016 @ 5:06pm 
What i would like to see is a 50/50 chance of being pulled into a weigh station and if you are carring a load that is over 80 000 lbs you can be fined.
TheKnoife  [author] 14 Jun, 2016 @ 11:50am 
Mopic, do you want a 75% mod? I can easily make one for you.
TheKnoife  [author] 14 Jun, 2016 @ 11:50am 
I believe it does, yes.
EG0611 14 Jun, 2016 @ 5:27am 
It includes non official weight stations at gas stations?
Mopic 13 Jun, 2016 @ 8:48pm 
Maybe 75% but no weight station is at 100% that's crazy.
