DUATS vs. ADDS

[Robert M. Gary]

I've noticed that often the TAF's in DUATS are much older than ADDS.
Has anyone else found this? It appears that either DUATS does not
posts updates or they take much longer to post.

Really? I hadn't noticed.

Thanks for the heads up.

Actually, just two days ago I ran into a situation where the FD winds
aloft data from DUATS was older than the one on AWC website. We tried
downloading a few times just to make sure, and it was indeed older by
at least 12 hours.

ADDS has made gathering weather information much easier, quicker, and
more intuitive -- you can literally see the actual METAR weather along
your entire route of flight at a single glance.

I haven't looked at DUATs even once since java-driven ADDS was
introduced.

The only derog for ADDS is the lack of NOTAMS. I still go to DUATS
for those.
