Dear skydemon team
Is there a way to add airspace names into the details that are displayed when a tma is selected in the what's here window? For example there is a ctr belonging to zurich lszh which is located in the south of the airport over the lake. This ctr can be active or inactive. It is favorable to know that this ctr is valled "ctr 2" when one tties to ask zurich info or twr of that ctr is active. The sam is true for some tma's around basel and i am sure that there are more such examples in other countries. It would in general be helpful to be able yo ask controllers for clearance to ctross tma 1 or 2 etc rather than "your tma"

i am sorry to bother again with this topic.. i have just a recent new example that should be proof enought that these tma numbers are important to know in the swiss airspace.
Zurich has changed hours of service for their TMA 14 and 15, which are in the very south of the zurich tma. the notam message states "TMA ZURICH SECT 14 AND 15 ACT AND HR OF SER MODIFIED" which has no meaning at all if one is not aware of the tma numbers. here is a screenhsot of the notam message shown in skydemon where it is impossible to find out which tma sectors this message relates to.
so once again, i think that the simplest solution for all this would be to simply append the tma number to the tma name as it is displayed on skydemon today. for example change the name of the different tma's around zurich from a uniform "Zurich TMA" which is used for any tma around zurich in skydemon to "Zurich TMA 15", "Zurich TMA 14" etc.
this would make both this Notam and also instructions and requests from and to Air trafic controllers alot simlper.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I would like to ask whether it is planed to integrate the swiss TMA sector numbers in the near future. FIS is using these TMA designators regularly in radio communication - they are depicted in the official ICAO chart, so SD should depict them as well.
Additionally all sectors of airports like Emmen, Buochs, Meiringen,Sion are marked by blue dots containing sector numbers as well - recently I received a transition clearance about like this "D-EXYZ cleared for south north transition sector 3 - FL 115" & suddenly I found myself fishing for the Swiss ICAO
thx & keep up your excellent work
