Sounds like terrain.hf is corrupted. You might be able to take one from another track and adjust it to fit what you had before.

It won't if you copy it instead of moving it.

I'd copy one from a track with the same dimensions and then adjust the height range as well as I could.

The format is "[dimension] [resolution] [lowest point] [highest point]". For example, a height field that is 1025x1025, with 2 feet between each point, with a low point of 0 and a high point of 500, would be defined like this: "9 2.0 0.0 500.0".

You'd have to guess the high and low points and adjust it until it looks about right. If the track isn't a masterpiece it'd probably be easier to just start over.
