it might be a problem with the layers or channels or just that you have to use smooth tool in PS

you get this issue if your PrimaryHeightmap.raw has not the correct size !
on a 1024x1024 it needs to be 1025x1025
on a 512x512 it needs to be 513x513
and so on ...

i usually use a tutorial of Fenring (ForgottenHope2) to get my geocontrol terrain into bf2
the advantages are that i have also generated a matching surrounding terrain

Hey I am trying this out though I have two problems. First of all The area that I want to use is relatively flat and therefore I can not really Identify it in microdem, is there a way that I can get a city overlay or do some coordinates in microdem to find the exact place.

The second problem is that I don't have photo shop and haven't been able to find other programs that can work with RAW images. So how do I import the image directly to geocontrol like thedare said can be done haven't been able to figure it out.

I had to download that SRTM 4.1 thing separately, you don't get it by downloading that overlay link :|

Also MicroDEM doesn't work for me at all, what the hell are "DEM files" and whats with your data being saved as Flash AS file, while mine is .kml and can only be opened by Google Earth?
There is so much stuff not explained here.
