why doesn't the weight drop on certain aircraft?

Some aircraft like the F-18 and F-14 in particular can have their pylons removed for a clean wing and centreline. It's not a big deal, but those pylons must weigh enough to have a few pounds drop and reduce gas usage when they are removed. Or maybe not, not, if anybody has info on that it would be great.

Removal of the F/A-18C's pylons is cosmetic i.e. for aerobatics, the base FM remains the same.

As for F-14B here is the answer:

"The weight is accounted for directly in the flight model, but won't show up properly in those dialogues since their implementation is "custom"."
