Jumper floats in the air too long while other controls are active

Hi all!

The answer might be painfully simple, but it’s evading me ))

Here’s the situation: I have a simple ship with rigidbody that accelerates, strafes and jumps on the plane. On their own all controls are working perfectly (say, the ball is travelling forward, I press jump it goes up it comes down, gravity is fine, etc.)

However, if after I press jump and the ship is still in the air I start using other controls (strafe, accelerate/brake) it floats in the air much longer, almost like gravity doesn’t apply anymore. Only when I release other keys, it resumes functioning normally.

void FixedUpdate () {
ShipMovement ();
}

void ShipMovement () {

	 //Jump
	if (onGround) {
		if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) {
			rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, Gravity * 7f, 0f);
			onGround = false;
		}
	}

	//Left
	if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A)) {
		rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, Steering * -1);
	}

	if (Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.A)) {
		rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, 0f);
	}

	//Right
	if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)) {
		rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, Steering);
	}

	if (Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.D)) {
		rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, 0f);
	}

	//Accelerate
	if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.W)) {
		if (speed < 100) {
			speed ++;
			rb.velocity = new Vector3 (transform.localScale.x * speed * Acceleration * -1f, 0f, 0f);

		}
	}

	//Deccelerate
	if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.S)) {
		if (speed > 0) {
			speed--;
			rb.velocity = new Vector3 (transform.localScale.x * speed * Acceleration * -1f, 0f, 0f);
		}
	}
}

you can disable all other control until the jump is done
like that for example

 void ShipMovement () {
      //Jump
     if (onGround) {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) {
             rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, Gravity * 7f, 0f);
             onGround = false;
         }
     }
     //Left
     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A) && onGround==true) {
         rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, Steering * -1);
     }
     if (Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.A)) {
         rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, 0f);
     }
     //Right
     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)&& onGround==true) {
         rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, Steering);
     }
     if (Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.D)) {
         rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, 0f, 0f);
     }
     //Accelerate
     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.W)&& onGround==true) {
         if (speed < 100) {
             speed ++;
             rb.velocity = new Vector3 (transform.localScale.x * speed * Acceleration * -1f, 0f, 0f);
         }
     }
     //Deccelerate
     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.S)&& onGround==true) {
         if (speed > 0) {
             speed--;
             rb.velocity = new Vector3 (transform.localScale.x * speed * Acceleration * -1f, 0f, 0f);
         }
     }
 }

unless you want to control it while jumping.
