Im currently working with a height map trying to make a large terrain however the end result of the terrain is tiny. Ive combed through the index but i cant seem to find anything to scale terrain.
Is there any way to do this?

you are probably looking at the commands for the old terrain system.
You should use advanced terrain instead.
you will find an example with media here:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=97644&b=1

In advanced terrain scaling works like this:

set terrain scale terrain_number,xscale,heightscale,zscale

Supposing you have a 256x256 wide heightmap:

scale 1 will give you a 256x256 DBP units terrain (x,z)
scale 10 will give you a 2560x2560 DBP units terrain
scale 100 will give you a 25600x25600 DBP units terrain
etc..
