What now days is the best flight prediction page calculator now days?

Looks like mine (https://s3research.com/tools/flightpredictor/)  isn't working right now.  It looks like the weather file has a change that is breaking it.  I can fix it if anyone wants to use it.

At GPSL 2017 I did a comparison of the various tools and how they work.  You can find the presentation here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zh4i2hmftxm2l4l/FlightPredictionSoftwareOverview.pdf?dl=0

The basic conclusion was that they all use about the same weather data and calculations.  You get almost identical results from the tools I looked at.  

Habhub seems to be the tool of choice these days.

I find this on-line prediction to be somewhat reasonable when it comes to Radiosondes.

I tried that one, it seems to work,
almost seems too simple!

I guess from the launch location, it is smart enough to know what sonde data to grab?

I remember the old days where I had to go and get that data myself and paste it into something he hhe.

Habhub grabs the data for the entire earth 4 times a day.  That has a 1 degree resolution.  Then they interpolate between time, altitude, long, and lat to come up with the wind at the current balloon time and location.  We have come a long way from grabbing wind at single location.

I go through the calculations they use in my presentation https://www.dropbox.com/s/zh4i2hmftxm2l4l/FlightPredictionSoftwareOverview.pdf?dl=0
