SimplePlanes | [DONE] so i need some help with variables

OUTDATED POST

i need to make a tachometer (using a simple gauge) and a speedometer (using a label part). i have 2 variables outputted from 2 different parts:

1.
Variable name - engineRPM
Part: Car Engine
Output: RPM

2.
Variable name - velocity
Part: Flight Computer
Output: Speed

so, i want to have the gauge display the RPM's, and the label the velocity, right?

i'd also like to have (read: need) the velocity to be in kilometers per hour and relative to the ground (GS).

basically, i just need to know what to write in the input field of the label and the gauge using what i requested above, i hope everybody understands.

speedo works if the input is set to {TAS*3.6}km/h however it's displayed with multiple decimals (e.g. 132. 8464 km/h), so i'm guessing i just need an FT function or whatever to round it, putting the {TAS*3.6:000}km/h doesn't work however

as for the car engine, it can be found as the last part in the "propulsion" tab i think, and has one variable output of RPM which i want to display on the gauge.
