I need help with variable pitch propellers

I've been with flight sims for a long time, but i still don't understand how to use VP propellers efficiently. I know that it works somewhat like the gears in a car; with a high propeller RPM, you get the highest power, but at a speed high enough the propeller pitch causes enough drag to overcome the engine power. The point is, how do i know when it's time to set a lower RPM?
