You have to invert the heightmap for some reason. Don't ask me why.

dude...

turn your terrain lod up.

Look just press the "Home" button and hold it down till it says 300 (while in your map). Right now it looks as if you are on 18 wich means if you aren't looking straight down, everything will be ugly as sin.

Ah you mean texture is inverted in x and/or y-direction, but heightmap not, or vice versa... (not talking about z direction) yeah try -i in mapconv or invert either one in the paint program? (I use xnview for all this kind of quick editing.) Maybe try a marker in one corner to see how it actually inverts, it's kinda hard to see now as it's quite symmetrical..

Or then it's a level of detail problem in the engine, try the hint that was given to increase lod.

You can see right away that the texture isn't inverted from the minimap, the minimap doesn't show height map values though. To the the height map looks inverted.

The reason is probably because the 16 bit raw files intended for heightmap use different indexing, so mapconv was built with that in mind.
