The Jetpack has lost it's "hover in place" functionality

Summary

The Jetpack has lost its ability to hover in place by holding ADS in air, this functionality is still listed in the items description even, reading “While in the air, boost up by Jumping or hover in place by Aiming Down Sights.”.

If a player ADS’s in the air now, they simply will hover upwards, rather than hovering in place.

Additional Notes

This bug emerged around when the new fancy Jetpacks were being made that functioned completely different to this one, it’s likely something when making those caused this one to break.

“Hovering in place” feels like a confusing way to word this, but it is how it’s worded in the description. For clarification, it means that the jetpack can hover in place, and strafe side to side, all without going upwards.
