I searched but admittedly my google-fu is weak.

I was reading up on drones, because I wanted to make a hacker character who dabbled in rigging under SR4, and noticed that when I read the paragraph discussing Jumping in to drones it says:

QUOTE (SR4 book pg.239)

Riggers may also take a Complex Action and "jump into" a drone via full-VR.


But in the list of Rigger actions right below it it says:

QUOTE (SR4 book pg.239)

Jump into/leave a drone (simple)
A rigger takes direct control of one drone in full-VR mode, or leaves it.


The action table(on pg. 349) also cites it as a simple action, so I guess my question is, how have you or your GM's been handling it, my opinion is that since there are two places that say it's a simple and one claiming it's a complex action, my first thought is to go with simple action. But I'd like to know what you think.

Also the errata as of version 1.3 (the latest I found on srrpg.com) it was not included as an error.
