Wrong assumption, even if there’s rules, this is not what occurs actually …
See here where all is actually for selling :
as we see here :

This applies to products such as an add-on aircraft, peripherals (e.g. if Honeycomb had a forum account), or Roman Design selling plans/guides.
Anyone can list freeware, but payware is stricter and can only be advertised by Verified Devs as per the link in this message.
The selling of new or used items by consumers in a marketplace manner (e.g. eBay or buy/sell classified ads) is not allowed.

A little bit of clarification here. It’s a DIY flight enthusiast cockpit builder project. I’m not selling any “items” or physical products. This has not started with any intention of selling anything at all. Just sharing my project with the community. My 2DOF Motion Simulator cockpit project is still absolutely free for all, including all the materials, etc. My 6DOF build process and most information, photos, videos etc. is all published for free - this is not a commercial project. People can get inspired and build a similar rig based on my photos and videos, without paying a dime. But I have been asked by several people to publish detailed plans, and those plans (including schematics, BOMs, custom 3D part morels etc) I made available for a fee, because it took a lot of time to produce those. Unlike my sceneries, this is not a business venture, and it’s not likely I’m going to even compensate the time spent on the project by offering the plans for sale. “Advertising” in the forum would not change that. So it would be a lousy business model to try to earn a profit. I’m not entirely sure if it’s within the rules. I thought it was not a problem, but I may be mistaken. If needed, any mention of the plans could be removed; that’s not why I posted it. I’m just excited about the possibility of building a full motion 6DOF VR sim for under $1000 in parts (I’m not selling the parts, it’s just a budget estimate!), and wanted to share this, because many people do not realize it’s even remotely possible. All the tools and software for building something like this are free - go ahead and build it, it’s an awesome experience that takes MSFS to a whole new level. My plans are not required for that, they just make it easier. They don’t even guarantee success, it’s still a barely tested DIY project. I won’t take more bandwidth with this, but just wanted to clarify what it’s about…
Thank you very much for the clarification - it’s much appreciated. In my opinion, perhaps the Code of Conduct could be expanded and made a bit more precise to avoid any misunderstandings or misinterpretations in the future.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain everything so clearly.
I think we can get back to sharing photos of our cockpits. I would post a picture of my command center, but I keep making changes to it, so I’ll hold off for a little while longer.
That said, below is one part of my gaming rig.

The Winwing 3XO was the latest addition - awesome if you like flying the A320 as much as I do.. The nice thing about it was that it allowed me to use the odyssey monitor strictly as a cockpit window. Throw in a couple of old Kindle Fire’s for the gauges (thank you spacedesk) and even though things are a little off-center, I think I’m done…(hopefully).

Great set up!!!. May I ask you why are using a joke different of Trustmaster Airbus edition?
Just something I already had and haven’t felt the need to upgrade (yet)- I found it to be well made - and you can’t beat the $39 price. If it ever goes I may go with the TCA Airbus one just to keep the motif going. But I’ve also seen some really good reviews of Winwings’ Ursa Minor joysticks. I’d be interested to get some feedback from folks on here who use that one.
