with pre 6.8 I simply unselected the "use external wind" whenever I wanted the set the wind manually. It worked well. I am hoping there is a way to achieve the same in 6.8 - having the ability to easily switch between external to manual wind. Without this I am better off with 6.7.

OK, more speculation about how this works. Looking at the code.

In =6.8, if wind is set to Manual (not Auto), and External wind is present then External is used. If you then set wind manually, that overrides the External wind.

In the Modal, once you select wind manually, a "Clear" button appears (it is not there before). Select 'Clear' once you are done with the Manual wind and it goes back to using External (if present).

Hope that's how it is.
