AI Assisted Hardware and DCS Troubleshooting/Tuning

[GunnerFlyboy]

I've spent a lot of time in the past combing through bug reports to get to a place where I could enjoy DCS. I'm retired USAF aircrew and after that career I spent another 20+ years doing software development. I even developed software solutions for FSX and P3D a long time ago. It occured to me to use an LLM AI to comb though the data not only from these forums, but to also use it analyzing simulation flight test data derived from monitoring the CPU, RAM and GPU sensors and correlating these to the DCS.log.

I spent about a month in my spare time training an AI to become a simulation test data analyst. I was pleasantly surprised by how much faster problems could be tracked down in the hardware. Also it helped to tune or retune DCS (like after an update). The end result is I can determine issues almost as fast or faster than spending time waiting and wading through the forums for clues as to what is wrong. In fact, the AI has developed a "mental" picture of how DCS operates. I'm not sure its correct more test data needs to be collected to give credence to the conclusions.

I'm now spending a lot more time flying with instrumentation on the hardware running DCS. So if something goes wrong a solution is no longer many hours and and in some cases - days to get the sim and hardware back in a stable state so I can spend more time flying and less time troubleshooting. 

Is there anyone else here that has done anything similar? And if that is true, would they be interesting in sharing their experience? Maybe the discussion would help others who are struggling to get the sim working faster?
