what's a normal map?
looks like you have lots of work to do then.

you are wrong. they do make changes to the signal scripts.
I don't want to be rude but how do you know the scripting doesn't change when you only appear to have one registered version of Trainz? Apologies if this is not the case.
Are you requesting that someone makes all the signals you have posted above and if so why, is it something to do with a lack of route indication? I don't follow your query really. I know the UK signals I use can be set up to display route indication as shown in your diagram above so scripting is already in existance that covers that.

Please note that the company....Auran....does not exist at this time. It has been replaced by N3V.
Also, respectfully, I, In My Humble Opinion, do doubt that the railroad companies would use a $50 program as a training medium.
Respectfully,
The scripting is there, and the AI has gotten better with the current version of Trainz. Try the search light signals used in the Mojave Sub, for example. Justin Cornell's search light signals work in a prototypical fashion, and the AI follow the signals the way they should with slowing down for flashing yellows, taking the indicated diverge, etc.
You have to remember that there are specific rules for the signals, but there are so many variants on the basic rules, that it would be impossible for the company to have put these in their original code. It is now up to the content developer to script and create the signals, and integrate their operation with the game code as it was originally written.

Essentially they all mean the same thing. Red=Stop, Green=Go, Yellow=Caution.
Since just about every major railroad company and country has their own idea of what the signal system they use should do and what it should look like, expecting one PC simulator to cover all of them is a bit much.
I've not seen the inner workings of real railroad training simulators but I doubt they are so universal that any railroad could use them as-is without modification and customization.
I'm sure the coders at N3V are good but programming every signal system in the world into something as small as Trainz might be a bit much. As such, you might say we have Trainz signaling system, as legitimate as any out there.

And the german, russian, and french trainzers have signals that implement the speed limit changes for different aspects. I'd honestly be surprised if the spanish trainzers don't have working spanish-practice signals, pretty sure there is some prototypical signals on ibertrainz, and STR has a pack of 50 spanish signals.
It's been a while since I loaded a spanish route, but I'll wager they work pretty much prototypically - although probably not to the depth of the z7 signals.
I don't think you are really familiar with running under AI,as it has been my experience that with trackmarks, triggers, and scripted signals you are as close as you can get to prototype signaling. Have you even tried any of those? I think not. Bottom line, learn how to script and create your own standards! It's a game folks, what do you expect for the price you paid. Are you willing to pay the money for a RR type simulator?
