Summarize your bug With the change to the javelin behaviour going into hover-mode after crashing into an obstacle some very annoying bug appeared: After you crash you are automatically put into hover modus. If you continue flying then and want to cancel out of your flight by pressing "Jump" you lose the forward momentum and it appears as if you are hitting an invisible wall. If you don't crash into an obstacle and just fly, then cancel with "Jump" it works correctly. You have some forward momentum and can land where you intended.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Fly around any place and crash into something so the Javelin switches into hovering. Then, without landing, continue flying and cancel out of the flight by pressing "Jump" and you will be stopped by an invisible wall. For comparisons do the same thing just without crashing: just fly and cancel it with "Jump" and you will have your natural forward momentum
What happens when the bug occurs? You lose forward momentum and probably won't land where you intended to.
What should be happening instead? Same thing that happens if you don't crash into anything.
It's a really annoying bug that I couldn't put my finger on for quite some time. Something just felt wrong. After playing the narrow Temple of Scar a lot recently I finally noticed the problem more often and could replicate it by doing what I described above. It suspect it has to do with the change in behaviour after flying into an obstacle. This somehow causes every "Jump"-cancel of your flight to lose momentum as if you are hitting an invisible wall.
