- The user interface is basic and not very intuitive, making it challenging for newcomers to navigate.

The graphics in this simulator are generally considered simple and not particularly impressive, with some users noting low frame rates and a lack of detail. However, many agree that the graphics are adequate for a simulation experience, prioritizing realism and depth over visual flair. While some players find the visuals enjoyable, those seeking high-quality graphics or eye-candy features may be disappointed.
“The graphics are simple but clean, and can be pretty from time to time.”
“Zusi 3 now offers the real driving simulation with much prettier, eye-candy graphics.”
“The graphics are sharp and look realistic but are not as 'fancy' as in other train simulators.”
“The one thing I'd keep in mind, however, is that the cab view is very, very ugly; even if you don't care about graphics, you probably won't want to use it.”
“Graphics are not the best, but everything else is very realistic!”
“The simulator had terrible graphics but already featured a rather good driving simulation experience, especially in contrast to most of the games existing back then.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs affecting gameplay and an unreliable in-game monitoring system that can negatively impact player progress. Users have noted that both "Train Simulator" and "TSW" by DTG, while enjoyable, are frequently plagued by these stability problems, raising concerns about their overall value.
“The game is buggy and confusing.”
“The in-game monitoring system, the 'cheat screen' made to serve this purpose, is also buggy and inaccurate in itself. If you use the cheat screen, you will lose credit and jeopardize your career.”
“'Train Simulator' and 'TSW' by DTG are nice but often buggy and expensive (DLCs).”
