Is it worth spending the USD$140 before buying my next drone? What are my other options?

I don't think there is much point, operating an MA (or any DJI drone, really) doesn't take much skill. You don't "fly" a DJI drone as much as point it in the direction you want to go.

A flight sim might be helpful for learning to fly something like a racing drone where you have far more manual control, but I see little benefit in this context.

If you're flying in weather so bad it's the direct cause of an MA crash, the real problem is not lack of skill.

I trained with Real Flight 8 for about 4 months before I ever bought my Air.. A tremendous help, IMO. Do not waste your money with Real Flight Drone Real Flight 8 has many more features and drines
