Empty Weight Explanation?

[freezer41]

Empty weight seems to be a couple hundred lbs higher than the manual says it should be.

X-Plane shows 2483 lbs empty weight. 

Lowest I can get with Aircraft Window is 2578 lbs (no fuel, no pax)

Manual says 2250 lbs

It would be nice to be able to select how much each passenger and the luggage weighs.

The weight displayed in the aircraft window includes the base airframe weight + the supplements added to the aircraft (in our case, Oxygen, FIKI, and Air conditioning). That makes the X-Plane weight. The additional difference is the weight of the oil on board and TKS fluid.

I've noted the request for passenger and luggage weight - we will look into adding that!
