Which signal system are you using for the signal masts? ?Have you created the signal mast logic (SML) from Signal-A to Virtual-A?

Subject: [jmriusers] Virtual Signal Masts for End-Blocks

Running JMRI 5.11 and have created a number of Signal Masts, each using DCC Signal Heads (I use NCE Light-Its). I am wondering if I have setup something wrong, or if someone can some provide some guidance on the following situation.?
?
I have a turnout which either continues the mainline, or if thrown diverges to an end track. I setup two rules for my signal mast (Signal-A). The first from Signal-A to Signal-B (both on the mainline) and based on the turnout being set to Closed.?
?
For the second rule, it is Signal-A to Virtual-A where the turnout is Thrown.?
?
Virtual-A is defined as a Virtual Signal Mast as it is at the end of a track line. However, Signal-A is always at a Stop state because Virtual-A is never set to a state unless I manually set it to Clear. When I do this, and if the Turnout is Thrown, then Signal-A correctly changes to Clear. But otherwise Signal-A is not in the correct state because it is linked to Virtual-A and Virtual- is unset.?
?
Am I using the Virtual Signal in the right way for these situations where the track ends??
