Of course, diesel RPMs should ramp up with acceleration.  Well, actually, the other way around but, in model traindom....

So, I went out to our test layout and set a Lionel Legacy NP U33c diesel on the rails and tested it with the app.  To my surprise, no diesel rev changes relative to throttle.  So, I picked up our Legacy Cab 2 and ran the engine.  To my even greater surprise, no diesel rev changes relative to throttle.

It appears we are sending the exact same commands as the Legacy system with the same results.  That's a relief.

I will get into this further and try to update this thread with what is going on.  I vaguely remember some issue with the type of Legacy speed commands being sent but, of course, we opted to mimic the Legacy system as this would seemingly be acceptable to those users.

More to follow on this down the line. 

I have about 50 Legacy diesels and every single one of them has an RPM sound increase/decrease relative to the throttle when controlled via the CAB-2.  However, when controlled via the DCS app, there is no RPM change at all.  They stay at idle regardless of throttle movement.

Have I misunderstood your post?
