Running Ranked Duels
To run ranked duels, you don't need to choose slots manually. Please use chat commands to select the aircraft type and start the duel. Here are the chat commands you can use:
/select
/duel
/duel
/select or /s Command
This command brings up the aircraft type selection menu. After the selection menu appears, please enter the number of the desired aircraft class and type from the list. If you select "Any" type, you'll be added to the queue for every available aircraft in the selected class.
Attention: You do not need to use this command if you are participating in events or tournaments. The aircraft type will be selected according to your choice during registration.

/duel or /d Command
Type this command in the chat to join the ranked duel. If there is an opponent with the same aircraft type in the queue, you'll be automatically moved to the proper slots and the countdown will begin. Don't forget to close the input line in the chat by pressing the Tab key.
Once you see the "Fight!" command in the chat, you need to spawn in your aircraft. Press [Left Alt + B] (by default) to bring up the briefing menu and press the "Fly" button.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to spawn a player directly from the server in DCS.
To address this, we've created a script that will automatically spawn you on your DCS client side when the "Fight!" command is issued in the chat.
Place the script to the SavedGames/DCS/Scripts/Hooks folder.
You can access this folder by typing %userprofile% in your Windows search bar.
If there are no Scripts/Hooks folders in your DCS folder, create them.

With this script, you'll be automatically spawned on the VPC Duel server when the ranked duel is arranged and the "Fight!" command appears in the chat.
