I thought all you did was export it as a signed raw file then import that file into the terrain editor.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Basic tutorial for creating then exporting a heightmap file in raw format. I believe you want to choose 16bit signed as the format when you export the file.

Ok imported the raw heightmap file but nothing happened... do I need to make a flat one piece land and then import heightfield.

No. Create a 4096 x 4096 height map. A 2048 will not work. Export it as a signed .raw file. Create a blank terrain in ahedit and import your raw file into your terrain. It will overwrite any existing elevation file.
