Hi there, it seems that parts of the normal map is... Out of whack, so to speak. At about 90 degree increments of longitude (0° E, 90° E, 180° E 270° E), one can see fuzzy transitions or seams, extending all 180° between the north and south poles. They are most noticeable with timerate at 1000000x and sync orbit enabled. Other than that, great addon!
