Experimenting with the new plugin on a mac with all the latest. It seems the plugin does not respect the time of day overriding the time to the time stated in the plugin even though this is dimmed (defaults to 9 am) anyone else having this issue?

There is something funky going on with the sun position -again. Similar to the bug that was previously in the plugin. This time it seems to be some weird scaling (?) issue as I cannot seem to correct it simply by entering an offset in the direction from north field inside FZ. Workaround in the meantime is to go through Studio.

formzizzle,
Most of the issues with the sun position have been fixed with v1.7 of the plug-in.
However, even with this latest version the plug-in does not grab the correct GMT time from the "Site From City" option in FormZ's sun location settings. It will only read this from the "Site From Longitude, Latitude And Time" setting.
Even when using the "Site From Longitude, Latitude And Time" setting the city location will still read as Kabul, Afghanistan in the Environment Settings within Maxwell Studio. However, you'll notice the Longitude, Latitude, and GMT will be correct.

Thanks for pointing this out - I've fixed that.
