One more,
FAQ again (My wheel in the game is not centered. What's wrong? ):
Original: before running the simulator you should connect the wheel and wait until the end of its’ auto calibration.
Correction: before running the simulator you should connect the wheel and wait until the end of its auto calibration.
No apostrophe after "its". Because "its" without the apostrophe is the possessive form of the pronoun. I don't think "its'" with an apostrophe makes sense :lol: .

Thanks! I've fixed all of the above.

Waiting for more... :)

Original: Instructor will give you advices in time of driving.

Correction: The Instructor will give you advice whilst of driving.

Another missing "the". "Advices" isn't a word. "whilst" basically means "in time of"
It should be:
The Instructor will give you advice while you're driving.

Oh yes, you're right. I never took into account the "of". Nobody's perfect!

I'll do more over time.

Excuse me, but in this case I can't understand - why?

Why with "The"? Instructor in this case is not a concrete person and not a specified item. It's just an abstract onject - AI system which sends you voice advices.

And why with a capital letter at the beginning?

Good questions.
First one:
Because you always put "The" before a thing regardless of whether it's an AI voice, or a object. The instructor is a thing, not a person. Therefore, you must use "The" before the word "Instructor". If "Instructor" is the actual name of the person talking, not the general name given to people of that job (as in, something you can replace with a pronoun, like "he" "she") then you say "Instructor gives you advice while you drive." However, people don't know that, and it seems wrong. You're better off saying "The instructor gives you advice while you drive."
2nd question: Because it's the beginning of the sentence. Simple as that.
