FR - Afterburner doubles as toggle off glide
Can we have an option or something for ‘using afterburner turns off glide’, please?
I’m thinking that toggle glide would be more user friendly if the toggle out could be combined with another frequently used function, and after burner in particular would be ideal since it is (probably) common for players to hit their afterburner as soon as they come out of glide.
This would defintely need to be optional, as for some of the glide configurations afterburning while gliding is useful or essentially a core mechanic. My preferred way of addressing this request would be to ensure lua has access to both read and modify the glide and afterburner states, then it would be relatively trivial to implement this with a drop-in script for mods where it's a sensible fit for their glide model.
Sounds good to me, then everyone is happy 👍How would I go about requesting that, and who would I need to ask nicely / bribe 😁

Adding on to this, I haven't actually checked to see and can't right now, but if strafe is taking people out of glide mode I would be most appreciative of a toggle to turn that off as well.
How about adding an optional press a key to enter glide and press a different key to exit glide? I could then bind the exit glide key to being the same as the afterburner which would solve the problem.
