Getting better, but please find and fix those shadow problems before anything else.

 

1) Select a component in Max

2) Add the "STL Check" modifier

3) Check the "Check" box

4) In the "Errors" section, try selecting each of the settings (Multiple Edge, Spike, Double Face, Open Edge)

5) Open Edges are usually fine. But if STL Check shows errors with Multiple Edges, Spikes, or Double Faces, it will cause those nasty shadow issues in the game.

6) Once you find which component is at fault, you'll need to rebuild some or all of it. Use simpler shapes and more precise measuring.

7) Repeat this for each component in your model until all errors are corrected.

The shadow problems have nothing to do with the terrain. They are caused by errors in your model.

 

Here is an explanation of the STL check modifier:

http://www.3dmax-tutorials.com/STL_Check_Modifier.html

 

The major causes of the stretchy shadows are these three errors--

Double Faces: These are faces that "overlap" one or more other faces. Imagine two walls that take up the exact same space. In reality, this is impossible. And in a game, it will cause graphical errors. You must delete one or more of the overlapping polygons.
 
Spikes: These are faces that only share 1 edge with the main object. Imagine a box, but one triangle is sticking out of the top of the box. These almost always cause shadow issues, and they must be deleted.
 
Multiple Edges:  These are edges that "overlap" one or more other edges. For example, imagine two boxes that are connected by one edge. You need to separate and fix components if they have this problem.
 

 

All these errors are extremely common for free downloaded models, which I recommend you do not use, except as reference material.  (The people who make those free models don't care about quality or game performance.) Whether the parts are downloaded, or made by you, you should learn how to fix them.

 

Here is a video tutorial about it.
