Finally got it finished. There was a lot to rework to be done and I finally got the time to do it. I've double checked all the values and I've had beta testers (thanks to Arcticwolf and Stryker) go over it all.
You can get it from the download section for Black Hawk Down at http://www.novasheep.com

This is the most complete converter available to date.
All weather effects are there. All groups, area triggers
and waypoints that have something associated with them
are labeled. All waypoint routes and area triggers have
different colors for easy identification. The items are
grouped together like the MED and each group has been
assigned to a layer. They layers have been named as the
grouping in the MED and have different colors for easy
idenification as well.

to be used unless you feel you are having problems with a
