Open notepad -> write in it your config -> File-Save As -> in the name field write:config.cpp and in the extension field [save as type] switch to "All files" (or something like that) -> Save it.

De-pbo some-elses working addon of the same type, copy their CPP and edit it to suit yours.

Check out more than one addon to see what variations there are for your selected addon type (plane, soldier, car or tank etc)

Best way to learn is to learn from what others have already ..........

Yes, and get the commented config of the game from BIS :

Breathe website

It's the main game config, more or less commented by BIS, that allows you to understand :

- how inheritance does work (all addons inherit from upper class configs, modifying some of the parameters but not all of them) ;

- default parameters of vehicles configs, weapons configs etc...

Understanding how parameters work is the most difficult point, but most of them have been explored by modders through "trial and error" method, so searching on the forums is very usefull.
