I dont know if its a plugin-bug, or a Maxwell bug, but the sun-system and cordinates is not correct.
Yesterday, I worked on a Architect-contest.
I know where the building was about to be built and found the longitude and latitude values after 1 min googling.
But, when rendering, The Sun was way to high up (straight from above). Its not like that here in sweden. And when I changed the Time, the sun moved in the wrong direction. Nothing worked as in real life. Its like the longitude and latitude-values was taken from the oposite side of the earth (down under).
Anyone noticed that its not correct, or am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE
Ok, I was wrong....
I googled the long and latitudes for the City, and when I did my test again today, I tought I would look up those settings again. And I found out that the webpage I found have swapped all numbers, så Longitude was actually Latitude. Sorry guys... The sun-position seems to be correct.
BUT, when I did my test I found 4 wierd things.
Settings:
Turbudity: 3.000
Ozone: 0.350
Water: 2.000
Latitude: 57.680
Longitude: 14.671
GMT Offset: 1
Day of year: 180
Hour: 01:00 - 24:00
1: I cant set the time between 24:00 and 01:00 (example: 00:30)
2: 24:00 is incorrect. Check out my renders and you will understand.
3: I cant keyframe the time.
4: Colors MUST be wrong. Sky IS blue all over the sky during the summer. In my renders here, No hint of blue colors.
So, whats with this last render?
