The current Mission Waypoints editor shows a drop-down selection of waypoint type, which includes Fly over points and turning points. So I'm guessing this is a subject that is in the works. This is my contribution toward further development.

Placing waypoints on the map produces an odd maneuvering mechanic involving a course correction that looks like so:

My Wish: Press a button in the waypoints editor that replaces one waypoint with two turning point waypoints into the flight plan

Getting fancy with it:

If waypoints are related to aircraft, and there's performance information on optimum cornering speed at airframe's max G tolerance
