Thanks for all the constructive replies.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, you can't control the RPM directly, you have keep to tweaking your speed, from the numerical speed settings until you see the desired RPM on the gauges in the control room.
It is just that in terms of evasion it's the RPM not the speed that matters so one sort of gets used to thinking in those terms and I forgot that isn't obivious to someone new to the game.
I hope you didn't spend too long trying to do the impossible.
