It doesn’t seem possible as far as I can tell to get MP’s SITL to run a skid-steering rover. The issue is the SITL backend needs to simulate a skid-steering rover which can be done by passing “-f rover-skid” into the startup script for the simulator but I couldn’t find a way to make it work. Perhaps MP could be slightly enhanced to provide an option for this vehicle type (issues list is here)

Actually I’ve just found that adding “–model=rover-skid” to the “Extra command line” field works.
