the contract for launching a sounding rocket 2km cant be completed due to it wants the rocket to come down whole so if u use far it 100% time willl rip off the rear part when fuel runs out. might want to change it to be lauch a rocket over 2k and do any experment or just have the guidancce landing saftely count.

In my testing, I didn't see it do that. I'll check it again.

the way it reads is u have to land the rocket whole. i lauched around 10 times and it would never complte. since i use far the rocket part always runs out of fuel before 2k or gets ripped off once fuel runs out. maybe its lookiing for something that its not saying for example maybe its looking for the engine still attached which is hard to do with far.

u could also add some contracts for say fllying a sounding rocket certain distance and also landing it in a specfic biome. that would encourge peoplel to load a few sounding rockets onto a plane to go to other biomes and launch them :P

all the boosters are supposed to by design auto-decouple on expiration anyways - that's not FAR aerodynamic stress.

Do the contracts work for you?

@inigma It worked fine for me. Once I was over 2000m it checked as completed :D

The only thing that I found odd was that the two items under Safely were already checked at the VAB. I didn't check any other contract though, but I believe they are ok. I let you know if I find something!

If a may suggest, put the Land or splash down and Safely together.

I fixed it! Simply redefined the craft after launch to just the avionics package. Allows for parts to fall off including the boosters.  New version to be released momentarily.

Also I've figured out why some boosters fall off and some don't. If USI motors are rooted, they don't decouple. If they aren't rooted, they decouple. I've reported it as a bug to @RoverDude

I'm having problems with the 10,000m contract. I have all the need parts of the rocket, don't blow up my launch sticks on launch, reached 13,000m and landed safely yet this contract still won't comeplete.

Update: it seems that deleting the contract and retaking it fixed the altitude detection.

I've had the same issues as @Liondrome on various contracts.

I think you need to succeed with the first rocket you build that matches the requirements (sounding rocket, launch stick etc.). If this launch fails to reach the height goal, then no future launches will succeed. Until you cancel the contract, retake it and succeed on the first launch.

Question: Does this contract pack support Kopernicus mods which replace the stock system/homeworld? (Obviously, sounding rockets contracts aren't going to care much about the universe beyond the homeworld.)

I'm currently planning my 1.2 career. (Yeah, I know, it's likely weeks out especially if I consider mod update times, but this career I missed some cool mods, like USI sounding rockets, because I advanced before I found them. So this time, I'm planning ahead.) My current plan is to play on the currently in development Galilean Planet Pack, which will replace the stock system, including Kerbin.

I'm having trouble with this in 1.2 - I'm using the latest build of this, plus Contract Configurator's 1.2 dev build, and I can never fulfill the first contract. I reinstalled all my mods and it finally recognizes my altitude achievement and when I've landed but it still refuses to realize I've recovered the craft.

Any suggestions?
