Start a mission and hit F11. The Ingame Editor should start up. You can use some diffrent Editors (I think they are under the menu option "Window" on top of the screen). Just browse through the menus. You will find it there. Terrain Editor, Terrain Painter and everything else you need.

Thx, i found that now, but i understood there was actually a 'height map generator' so i wouldnt have to paint the whole map

Well there is the Terrain terraform editor which will use different algorithms to generate terrain based on what operations you choose.

As for painting the whole terrain you would use the terrain texture editor. With this editor you can apply textures across your whole map based on many variables including, height, slope, and water level.

Check out these resources which have a lot of information on the in game editors:
