Custom Jetpack Nerf

Description
This is a Nerf for jet packs I use in my survival playthroughs (for both male and female models).

The jet pack is no longer powerful enough to hover in 1g gravity however if activated mid jump allows a single 16-20m high boost. This can get you on top of a building and combined with a hydrogen tank allows a cool jet trooper feel without overpowered flight.
In 0.25g it allows for a slow flight around 750m or again a high boost if combined with a jump.
In 0g it is much slower than the vanilla jet pack but allows you to change your speed by about 500m/s (i.e accelerate to 250m/s and slow down again). This allows you to use it around stations/ships but means you can't chase down ships or use it for quick travel.

I made this because most nerfs seem to nerf the jet pack into oblivion whereas I wanted it to serve a limited but useful purpose in each gravity strength.

If you want to make your own the values I changed are under ThrustProperties in the Characters.sbc file.You can open up my mod and see what I changed.

This mod does not work with modded suits/characters unless you add those suits/characters to the characters file. If you use the vanilla characters, it works just fine.
We had a player on my server with the Master Chief suit and he could fly, and we were like "why can you fly?". Come to find out, it was because he wasnt using a vanilla suit/character.

Im not complaining, just dropping a tip in case people had questions about it.

From my quick check it seems to still be working as intended on my end.
I have two theories:
1. If you tried testing it in creative you can overpower gravity by holding both forwards and up at the same time however this is not possible in survival due to fuel limitations.
2. If, however, it isn't working as intended for you in survival I'm sorry but I don't know how to fix that. When making this mod the game would occasionally ignore it entirely and use vanilla settings. I never got to the bottom of this but found a quickload tended to fix it.

Just tried this and it doesn't seem to effect flying around in gravity
