The awareness level is set to blind for the civilian side in the Add/Edit sides window.

However countless lines like the example below are added to the log, the size of the saves are increased and the simulation is slower.

To reproduce, load and run for some time at double flame the save posted in this thread, and check the log.

Blind side is working, but there's a contact update message that IMO shouldn't be there.

Thanks, is there a way to avoid it in the current beta or in B1776?

I didn't check but probably deactivating contact update messages

Thanks, just tested and it was that, BDA data messages gone

This one has to be unticked. And it makes a huge difference.


Regarding the blind awareness. Normal messages like the one below are printed, if the civilian side is blind, should they?
