FLCT uses for landscapes standard cells. You select area ([ and ]) and press Ctrl-F6. Select forest styles for cells. When FLCT asks for bottom height enter letter v, this means that this cells are variable height.
Variable height cell are marked with VAR. You can switch to height mode (F5) and see current height of cell corner.
If you somewhere in VAR area (not near a normal area) press H and enter real height, 100 for example, some adjacent cells will change heights. If you press H on another cell and type height, 200, for example, heights will change next time. Now there are plain with two hills on it.
