I've been searching the forums, downloading a lot of programs which have been suggested but it doesn't work. I've tried saving the mesh but the exe crashes half way through. I don't need the texture or anything just the terrain so I can position the buildings and stuff and get the cords from AC3D of the objects for the map instead of keep going in and out of dbpro programs and getting the cords.

I have saved it as a .dbo so if there's a way of converting it to a .x or a .obj then that would be just as good.

Edit:
If it helps the full scale from one end to the other is 245760x245760

Thanks

you will need to write your own x exporter or find an existing one.
You can't save to a mesh because it probably has to many polygons.
There'a limit of 22000 (I think) polys per mesh

Why do you need to save the terrain? What's the plan?

My plan was to save the terrain and then load it up in AC3D and place where I want the buildings to be and copy the coordinates into dbpro but I worked around it by programming a editor in dbpro.

my suggenstion, dont use .x format as your terrain. you must use Height Map to maximize your game fps and performance.

Ah good because I was thinking of using a .x instead; thinking it might be quicker so that got rid of testing that
