Hello XCSoar users.* I love my XCSoar/Streak combo in my glider and
I installed a second Streak in the Pipistrel Sinus.* In the Sinus
there is no computer/GPS to feed the Streak and so the XCSoar relies
on the internal GPS of the Streak.* With the solo setup, I never see
winds.* I've flown zig-zags and circles and never get a wind
presentation.* In the settings under Config System Glide
Computer Wind, I have Auto Wind - Both selected. * Any ideas.

Reading that (again), the best interpretation I have is that if you choose Manual for wind calculation, then you get External Wind if it's available.

But if so, how do you override External with Manual if you want to do that?

I don't know.
