ok three things here.

1. To select aircraft or create them you must uncheck the 'Cannot Switch planes' etc. entries in Realism settings. I usually uncheck all of that group but you can decide to limit some options for players like 'Cannot Switch Sides'.

2. If you only created Spawn Areas its possible you 'Created' an aircraft and then left it (Escape) so it would stay Created and you might see it as an 'Aircraft' that you could select and 'Enter'. Usually when you only have Spawn Areas and you select an Army then an Airfield, the aircraft available only appear on a list on the right hand side of the 'Map screen' where you choose the a/c you want from the likst you provided in the mission builder. You don't usually see actual aircraft, at least not right off.

3. You may have created 'Aircraft' as well as 'Spawn Areas' because to select an aircraft on the map and 'Enter' it, it would have to be an 'Aircraft' (or one of a Group) you placed on the Airfield (unless it was a 'leftover' previously Created as in 2. above).

So after creating your simple dogfight server with Spawn Areas only, create a server, set the Realism as above then load the mission. It should work ok.
