negative value with limitSpeed makes helicopter reverse
New, NormalPublic

Description

According to the biki, limitSpeed -1 is supposed to reset the speedlimit, but instead, it forces the helicopter to fly negative speed while it keeps it nose pointed towards the current waypoint.

I dont mind it doing it, but it would be nice to have a way to reset the speedlimit, for example _obj limitSpeed false or sth like that.

and the wiki would need an update

Tested with cars. (that SF Nato Buggy) For Vehicles, it seems to actually reset the speed limit.

To reitterate: I think being able to force a heli to fly reverse with this can be used in interesting ways, but it would be nice to have an alternative way to reset it.

Same issue is present in TKOH

not present in A1/A2/A2OA, introduced in TKOH - should be "reverted" back to normal?

As said before, i think its a cool feature that can find application, but an alternative reset of the speed limit is needed, like:

vehicle this limitSpeed false;
vehicle this limitSpeed "Reset";
vehicle this limitSpeed -999;

right now, the only workaround is

vehicle this limitSpeed 999;

but technically, doesnt remove the limit.
