Is there a quick way to disable winds aloft in the plan? I know on the leg options I can specify it manually, but I'd like to be able to turn off auto wind calculation globally.

In short No. I have looked into what you have asked and i have deduced (only by verifying on couple of TAF and METARS, so not conclusive). TAF and Metars are done on QNH readings SD Enroute window seems to depicts them by height above ground and not from altitude from sea level. If you look at EGLF metar its states 16115Z 20014KT 170V230 BKN190 11/08 Q1016 so broken cloud at 1900ft but the graphical depiction shows the bottom of the cloud at 2100ft. EGLF elevation is 240 (which i would assume would be rounded down to 200), and if that is added on the metar 1900 then we get the depicted view of 2100ft. I have alerted Tim to this and he will look into it.
