Optional properties

Template:Prototype property Must be in the [0, 1] interval.

Template:Prototype property Must be positive. Sound is scaled by speed.

Template:Prototype property Must be positive. Sound is scaled by speed.

Template:Prototype property The name of the equipment grid this vehicle has.
