Let's say you have 2 waypoints, a takeoff waypoint and a waypoint of 3000m height & 300km speed, and you want to set a smooth transition between the 2 waypoints.

Then click on one of the waypoints, use the "Inbetweening" section on the waypoint tab to automatically create a set of new waypoints between the two existing points.

In my example, click on the takeoff waypoint, then

a. A textbox for puting in 'number of waypoints = 2 (this is the number of new waypoints to generate)
b. An option for before & after current waypoint = after (new waypoints are genrate before or after the currently active waypoint)
c. A tickbox for 'interpolate altitude' = ticked (a smooth transition in altitude at begining & end waypoints)
d. A tickbox for 'interpolate speed' = ticked (a smooth transition in speed at begining & end waypoints)
e. A tickbox for 'carry over type' = unticked (this will carry over the waypoint type [normal flight, cover etc] to the newly generated waypoints)
f. A button for 'Create' = creates the specified number of waypoints.

... and voila! You now have 2 new waypoints between your original points, and they're set at the right altitude & speed. They can of course, then be dragged around as required. Quite a handy little utility actually
