This has been around for a while. So i think this is just a problem for people who use pounds in USA. I'll give an example of the flight I'm on now for a 787-10.
In the client:
Zero Fuel Weight 425000 lbs (-43525 lbs)
Simulator ZFW 329044 lbs
So, simple math says 425000-329044=95956. NOT 43525. The red 43525 is in kg, not lbs even though it says lbs after it. I've been wondering for a while why when i add 43525 cargo in sim, the weight is still wrong lol. I finally realized its still in KG and not converted.

Look on this as an opportunity to start thinking in metric, it is really a better system,
and I say that as someone who grew up in the United States.
