Looks not like banding but the default haze layer. Active Sky for my 5.4 does disable this. If you have Active Sky for v6, check options - visibility options - disable defaut haze layer.

The color is something rather TOGA Envtex can handle, but that does only support up to v5. There seems no such product to be available.

Without a screenshot I'm not sure if you're referring to the bright white horizon haze or sky color banding.

You can try enabling or disabling the default haze layer in Active Sky and see if that helps.

P3Dv5 had this issue as well, so it's likely something to do with Enhanced Atmospherics.

The banding looks very unrealistic.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but which A380 is the one you use?

it is to do with the visibility layer thickness/altitude, if it is quite low ( i suspect around 13000ft  in your case ) you will get a band like this  .

For a first time I hear that ActiveSky changes the sky texture. My advice is to test sky textures from Pascal. That one I use myself and my sky looks a lot better.

That fixed it, thank you.
