New update (Almost there!)

The site location and time issues are almost eliminated :D ...except the plug-in is apparently missing the Daylight Savings setting.

Not a big deal since we can manually change the time....

The truth is that daylight saving switch is not there for Maxwell environment in Maxwell Render Options. However I suggest to use formZ sky (enable use formZ sky checkbox) instead. It should work properly now (if it doesn't please let me know) and you have control over daylight savings in sun formZ dialog.

Thanks for responding Pavol...

I already have the "Use FormZ Sky" checkbox enabled. The issue is that the plugin is ignoring the "Daylight Savings" checkbox when it is enabled in the FormZ sun dialog.

This means the user needs to remember to manually set the time back/forward an hour to account for daylight savings.

Yes - you are of course right.
I've fixed that, daylight savings time will be taken into account properly now.
