Automobilista 2 v1.6.8.6 live with CTD fixes, 2005 pack access change, and content updates

Automobilista 2 v1.6.8.6 is now live as a complementary update aimed at a couple of CTDs plus a batch of immediate fixes and improvements. Reiza also states that, from this build onward, the tracks and cars from the new 2005 Historical Pack are available only to users who own the relevant DLCs. Full details are in the official announcement.

What changed

Fixes

Fixed a CTD in setup load/save screens when the current vehicle has many saved setups.
Fixed a CTD when switching between cars in the showroom with LOD fades enabled.
Changed default TAA sharpening to 125 for new profiles.
UI/HUD fixes include corrected help box positioning on the Graphics & Performance screen and a clearer Le Mans 2005 HUD trackmap.
Audio fixes include engine sound centering for some cars in bumper/hood/roof views, plus engine start loop fixes for Courage C60 and Dallara SP1.

Cars

2005 Historical Pack tracks and cars are now limited to DLC owners.
Vehicle-specific updates include tire, gearing, aero, pit repair, vibration, camera, animation, livery, shader, display, and damage-model fixes across GT, prototype, and formula content.
Notable examples include the McLaren MP4/4 track-entry breakage fix, Copa Fusca front tire pressure asymmetry correction, and damage model/cockpit vibration additions for Courage C60, Dallara SP1, and Lola B0540 LMP2.

Physics

Further minor adjustment to GT3 Gen2 and GTE soft compound tires.
Lola B0540 LMP2 diffuser center of pressure adjusted.

Tracks

Cadwell Park safety car parking spot adjusted.
Le Mans 2005 physical mesh terrain gaps fixed.
Road Atlanta 2005 gains a barrier at the alternate pit lane entrance, VR camera fixes for the short layout, and a cheat block to invalidate laps using the alternate pit lane.
Snetterton all layouts: AI on extended-distance runs now need more distance to bring cold tires up to temperature where tire warmers are not used.

Features

AI attack/avoid ratios were adjusted further, including a fix for reverted GT min/max values affecting off-line behavior at higher aggression.
Simulated AI lap times when skipping practice/qualifying were calibrated for the new 2005 Endurance classes.
AI aggression and blue flag behavior were adjusted for Road America and Road Atlanta.

For league ops, we should confirm DLC ownership for any 2005 pack events and retest Road Atlanta 2005 rules, AI behavior, and affected car presets before race night.
