When editing a scenario, I added an airport to the map and also added aircraft to the airport. However, I ran into an issue when adding weapons to the aircraft. I added weapons via the "Add Weapons" option in the magazine, but I can't select these weapons in the "Ready/Arm" section under "Edit Aircraft". Did I make a wrong selection somewhere? I've checked the official manual, and it shows the same steps. I can follow the examples in the tutorial just fine, but it doesn't work when I'm creating my own scenario.

Aircrafts do not have magazines, they use loadouts. In order to use weapons from the airbase you need to select the airbase, add a magazine and then add weapons to the magazine that the AC can use.

Be sure that the weapons you add to the magazine of the Air Base can be used by the aircraft loadouts.

To add to this - make sure you also add ALL (mandatory) items in the loadout so e.g. targeting pods and other misc items the loadout requires.

When editing the scenario you can also ready the aircraft with any of its loadouts (Ready Immediately - Ignore Magazines (ScenEdit)) and then right click the unit -> add loadout to magazine. This will add the entry in the magazine that you can then go and adjust the quantities for, if desired.
