✈️ Infinity Launcher

Infinity Launcher is a high-performance, OpenGL-powered aircraft downloader and updater for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Built with C++, this launcher is designed to host and manage multiple freeware aircraft, providing an incredibly clean and responsive user experience—even on ultra-low-spec systems.

🚀 Features

• 📦 Multi-Aircraft Hosting Hosts and manages downloads for major freeware aircraft projects in one unified place.

• 💾 Fragmented Downloads Lightning-fast updates using a smart fragmenting system—only the changed pieces are downloaded.

• 🧵 Multithreaded Download Engine Fully utilizes all available CPU threads for blistering-fast download speeds.

• 🔒 HWID-Based Access Control Secure closed beta support via hardware ID whitelisting, integrated with:

  • Discord bot for automated whitelisting

  • Admin panel for manual overrides

• 🔑 Binary-Key Protected Access Some features (like sensitive download links) are encrypted and require a binary hardware key (distributed via official Binaries) to function.

  Note: If you compile from source, restricted-access content will be disabled.

• 💻 Ridiculously Low Resource Usage Runs smooth on literally anything with an OpenGL driver—perfect for potato PCs and high-end rigs alike.

• 🧼 Clean, Minimal UI Modern and responsive interface with buttery smooth animations and layout.

🛠️ Building from Source

Infinity Launcher is open source. The code is available to provide transparency into how the platform works.

However, due to security concerns:

• Sensitive download links are encrypted.

• The binary key required to decrypt them is not included.

• You will not be able to access private/restricted content unless you own an official hardware key.

Still, you're free to:

• Build and run your own version

• Audit the code

• Contribute improvements (PRs welcome!)
