I have my MAC plugged into HDMI into a big screen TV, but want my cockpit controls to stay on the laptop, how?

Question

I need to know how to configure 2 screens, 1 for the view, 1 for the controls. I have my MAC plugged into high def TV via HDMI. I want that to be the view outside, and the laptop screen to be the cockpit controls. How do I do this?

Answer 1

In X-Plane 10, if you only have one computer, multiple monitors will only display one very large screen, or two screens (the IOS and cockpit). There isn't a way for setting up extra monitors as other views unless you have more than one computer running X-Plane.
