That's nonsense - the TNT2 can even do multi-texturing on 3D triangles. It was the first nVidia card to do multi-texturing and was mainly the card responsible for sinking the Voodoo3 (and 3Dfx along with it). FlightGear (or plib) doesn't even support multi-texturing yet! I do agree that the TNT2 is very old and not up to it but mainly because it just doesn't have the power to push and/or fill enough triangles/second. 15 million transistors clocked at just over 100 MHz can only do so much.
