If you have a video monitor that takes a long time to change display
resolutions, and this is resulting in the game starting before you are
able to see the display when you enter the driving screen, you can set a
delay value in N3.INI file in order to force the game to wait for the
monitor to settle:
DISPLAY_DELAY n
Where N is a number of milliseconds from 0 to 2000. If you used 2000,
you will get a two second delay. The default delay when changing
resolutions is 300 milliseconds, or about one-third of a second.
------ You put this line in the N3.ini file (use notepad to open).---
Seems like it might work for you. Can't hurt to try.
