Flightspeed with afterburner bugged. Only 1 flight IO boosted it

88 mph, Rocket Board, Time Manipulation, MARTy...
I'm sensing a theme, here!
I could be wrong, but doesn't Afterburner only increase the flight speed cap, not the actual flight speed of your character?
If I'm right, then the evidence presented shows it WAI.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
So I hear people getting this up to 88mph.
Well this was my setup.
Swift:
1 level 50+5 boosted flightspeed IO
Quickness:
1 level 50 flightspeed IO in
Afterburner:
1 level luck of the gambler proc in the 1st slot and 1 level 50+5 boosted flightspeed IO in the 2nd slot
Flight:
winter proc (adding a flight IO here only boosted my speed by 2mph)
All of this resulted in a speed of 78.57mph. So I though hmm... I'll drop the luck of the gambler and see where it goes. So I used an enhancement unslotter on the luck of the gambler and slotted another level 50 flightspeed IO.
This resulted in the flightspeed not increasing at all. Despite the enhancement window saying otherwise. Combat attributes still show the number green and at 78.57. If I use steam jump or prestige jump pack it goes up to 87.95.
So either only 1 enhancement slot currently works in afterburner or when I used the enhancement unslotter on the luck of the gambler it broke the slot. Either way, Im kinda pissed for wasting an enhancement unslotter for nothing. I bug reported this but wanted to see if anyone else has run into this.
This was on my level 50 MA/SR scrapper for those that want to try reproducing the bug.
Edit: due some very strange reason you have to have a flight IO in flight for the 2nd slot in afterburner to function. Once I put a flight IO in flight and then added a 2nd flight io to afterburner only then did the 2nd slot in afterburner function.
Edit: So now I have 2 +5 level 50 boosted fligtht IOS in afterburner and that put me up to 86.68. Boosting the flightspeed IO in flight had no effect, adding flight IOS to quickness and swift had no effect. Im guessing that is a bug as well. So I guess you'd have to 3 slot afterburner to get it 88 or use the jump packs. I can live with 88 but I wish the slots in quickness and swift were actually working with this power.
