Is it possible to set up the three levers so that two are power and one is spoilers?

I've sent a ms to a vendor, but they've no idea.

Yes, you can do that. I've even seen setups for 2 quadrants side by side with a lever for 4 engine planes. However, I was always getting a difference in engine readings (not too big, but noticeable) so I changed mine to a pedestal setting (spoilers, engines, flaps.)

Thanks, Brandon.

Love it! Easily programmable and makes flying much easier. Everything is very sturdy. The knobs on the quadrant can be changed to your liking, so you can switch from a commercial airliner setup to a Cessna style one very easily. It's quite handy. The yoke has 8 buttons, not including the hatch switch and mode detector, and the display can be changed to the time or a stopwatch. The quadrant has 6 buttons, all of which you can set to what you want, and the levers themselves also have a button function - you push down on them all the way and it activates a command. I use this for reverse thrust.

Here's a pic of my current setup -

If you want to set it up that way.... All the switches are programmable.

OK, so it looks like the pedals will have to come later. . . Is it possible to keep the Saitek ST290pro hooked up . . . with the yoke as, well, the yoke, and the joystick as a "tiller" for ground handling?

You can.. or you can just go into FS and set the ail/rudder to interconnect and then the yoke will work for steering on the ground. On FS realism page
