If you mean accuracy in the sense that you aren't able to use all 8 textures, then there is a way, but it requires a source-code modification to the engine to accomplish (there's a resource that allows you to expand the number of textures available for painting on the terrain in the editor).

If you mean accuracy of the heightfield itself, you can play with squaresizes and such, but if you're trying to get large, high-density terrains, maybe you should look at TGEA and Atlas (Atlas is a terrain system in TGEA that can create higher density maps, but it is harder to work with than the terrain system in TGE).

Hope that helps.
