For over a decade we had to manually create waypoints for all ED aircraft (unless set in ME, obviously) and I'm not expecting that to change all of a sudden. DTC is planned and setting waypoints might be the first feature to work.

+1 this is a pain currently and for most aircrafts


It's less of a pain if you're smart about your keybindings.
The ICP fits almost perfectly onto a regular keyboard (see picture). If you care about the default bindings (ie camera controls) you want to set up a modifier. I've chosen my joystick's pinky button for this.
All my aircraft are set up like this and it works beautifully. In the Viper I take 10-15 seconds to enter a new waypoint and I can do it blind while looking at the map. Requires practice like everything else, but I think it's very worth it.

@fudabidu I'm fairly comfortable with my keybinds on the A/C's I fly and it's somewhat similar to what you did. The point here isn't about creating fast waypoints but about planning the whole flight with a strict time schedule and RP/CP/IP and whatnot, for me that means about 20+ waypoints depending on the mission, now that's a real pain to enter while in the cockpit when you're supposed to startup and fly right away.
