Firs of all your landscape in WM needs to be 4033x4033.

Secondly. In WM project settings, check your altitude. A standard landscape at 100% Z scale in UE4 is 512meters from top to bottom, if i remember correctly.

So, if your altitude range in WM is 5120meters, roughly 5km. You would need a vertical scale of 1000% in UE4.

Hope this helps!
