Yeah, I don't think "lightweight" is very honest when the game looks like this.

Sure it is. Nothing in the word "lightweight" implies stellar graphics. If anything, it implies that heavy and nonessential things (like cutting-edge graphics) are totally out of scope.

Claims RPi can handle it, so if true then it's a reasonable claim (depending upon how much you have to disable to get it to work well).
It's not like it's claiming to work on a 8MB 486 or similar.

#14Looks as if OpenGL support was added to Temple OS.
Amazing how low the bar is for FOSS games on Linux.

open source doesn’t really mesh well with artists, so most open source games just have terrible graphical assets
Yes, like Flare, sure.
Saying that it's like saying every AAA game it's like an unoptimized Ubisoft crap.

For a 56MB AppImage binary it looks very good.

One of the most sold games ever has blocky graphics not much better than a boosted SNES on 3D.
Do you realize this graphics settings are done on retro purposes?
Go check Flightgear videos with ALS settings and graphics to the max. It might not be MSFS, but for something that also runs under an HD3000 iGPU/UHD600, the graphics are astounding for a community based project.
Also, MSFS gets rendered assets and maps from Bing maps, something Flightgear did with Google Maps with a custom build... 10 years ago.
