Rover/Boat: improve steering for mixed Ackermann+SkidSteering vehicles about ardupilot HOT 2 OPEN

Perhaps it is possible to establish this type of dynamic distribution equation, linearize it, and optimize it online based on some indicators to obtain the control distribution matrix

from ardupilot.

I had something but i never got around to testing it, basically use a lua to reassign outputs and pid on the fly, It kind of worked but could only switch when disarmed as ardupilot wont let you change some parameters when armed.

What about something like propulsion profiles? on my boat I was going to have 3 modes, one with just rudder and propulsion, one with rudder and skid steer and the third with thrusters. so what about a file on the sd card with a list of servo out values and pid values that can be switched using an aux function or speed.

This Issue also effects sailing, basically when sailing it disables forward propulsion, but it will still try and use thrusters and tank steering with the rudder.
