Yes, you need to get out there now and start using it. The sim won't teach you much, worth 1/2 hour with a cup of tea. Keep it beginner mode to start, 30m limit. You'll soon get bored of that and then you can disable it and let yourself free.
Please do not listen to the comment above about being 10-15 feet away or hovering above peoples heads. In the UK you'll need to be 50m from anyone not under your direct control, 30m during take off and landing, and NEVER above them to stay legal
Thank-you for replying to my comment, I don't intend to fly at very high altitudes as my idea of getting a drone is to take my hobby of photography a little further, so instead of taking a photo straight on of a stone circle i can take a photo of the circle 20ft above. I have been doing photography as a hobby for nearly 20 years mostly of dartmoor and beaches, Where i live is on dartmoor national park & my sister has a farm 200 acres, so most of my flying will be well away from people. The weather probably wont let me fly for at least another 4 weeks as i live in a very open space & when its windy you feel every bit of wind, I'm looking forward to getting out with it and do my first flight.
