See below the SD screen showing “Padova Central East TMZ” and the related AIP page. Beside this naming issue, I think that the upper vertical limit of the FMC Area is not correct: the AIP states that the upper vertical limit shall be the lower vertical limit of the overlying controlled airspace (see picture of the AIP page), while in SD we can see an overlapping between the two airspace’s, from 3.000 to 5.000 feet. Just for reporting a potantial issue. Thanks, Andrea

Basically the only way we can get them to show up on our map - which was desired by Italian pilots - was to make them TMZs. We don't deem this unsafe because as you say, all of Italy is a TMZ anyway. All airspace in SkyDemon needs a defined upper limit, we can't just say "the bottom of controlled airspace" so it's deliberately high in this case, as it does no harm.
