Just go to your "Train Fever" dirctory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Train Fever) and create a new folder maps.
For each map a separate subfolder is needed. Inside this subfolder you'll have to copy heightmap.png and info.lua from the archive you downloaded.Normally there will be alreaday a subfolder inside the rar/zip archive. So you can use the extracted folder. But make sure you do not accidentally a subfolder inside the first subfolder. Train Fever won't find them

i did that and then started a new game and i see the folder ( maps ) i created with a bunch of ... after it and that's it don't see a picture of the custom map anywhere. P.S. my version of the game came from GOG if that makes a diffrence

i see the select map under terrain types but can't click on it it's shaded out
-
have you tried deleting the map and re-installing it? And which custom map are you using?
-

I just tried installing the map, it showed up but when I started a new map my game crashed without sending a crash report, weird.
Have you tried installing a different map?
Edit: Try this map: Realflat-Maps v1.0

found the problem i put the maps folder inside the mods folder and that's why it didn't show up, i took the maps folder out of the mods folder and placed it in the same directory as the mods folder and everything is good, the map shows up and works, i feel so stupid right know, thanks for your rapid response to the thread and helping me fix this.
-
Glad to hear that is is working now

-
Always happy to help

-
tried your map and just love it the flatter the better can't tell you how many times i almost rage quit when the game wouldn't let me place the tracks where i wanted to, hope the flat map is as difficult with track placement. thanks again for you help.

If you like flat, but more realistic map, you might have a look at "Hovedstaden" map of the nordic maps library: Nordische Kartensammlung - Nordic Maps Library
This map is from Danmark, has a nice amount of water but is quite flat (no mountains).
-
do you need the nordic dlc to play it.
-
No. You can play it without any mods/dlcs.
With nodic dlc, the landscape will only look different because of more trees, other textures and shaders.

Theres also this mod, it makes maps generally flatter then they normally are, not completely flat but flat enough
