Data inconsistency in B738

I have found that these two DOW values of the same aircraft do not match, what is the reason?
B738 Database
https://www.fsairlines.net/crewcenter/i ... us2=logged
Dry Operating Weight 41413 kg
B738 Airline
https://www.fsairlines.net/crewcenter/i ... us2=logged
Dry Operating Weight 41393 kg
Is the same issue with our B190 and SF34 fleets.

The difference here is because of the seat configuration your using.
When we list the DOW in the database its the weight assuming a full suite of seats and we assume 20kg for a economy seat, 40kg for business and 80kg for first class seats. Given the seat configuration your using, you could add one more economy seat to the aircraft, that missing seat accounts for the 20kg difference between the two aircraft.

Sorry Joe, but I still don't understand these differences, same configuration and same seats.

I test modifying the seating division and see no change in the DOW.

Same situation with empty config.

I have run the program that updated the dryweights again. The system does recalculate those values every time you book the aircraft for a flight but I added another call to recalculate when the seating config is changed.
