I would like to add a traffic thumbnail datablock, but it is greyed out in the SETUP/Datablocks section.

Does anyone know what prerequisites need to be filled to make that datablock selectable? I don‘t see anything specific in the PG. IFD is on 10.3.1.2.

It's most likely because there's not enough room to display the traffic thumbnail. Clear some datablocks where you're trying to put it (e.g. on the left side) and I'll bet you see the traffic thumbnail selection is no longer greyed out.

Thanks Steve. I was trying to put it on the right side, and this should work since it‘s shown there as an example in the PG. I‘ll play a bit and put it higher on the right side or on the left side.

That worked, both for the traffic thumbnail and wind vector. I seem to have filled up most of the space on the right side and adding a larger datablock no longer fit.
