I know nothing of the programming effort or hooks if any, but do the x-plane developers plan on implementing some base code of sorts, for a lack of a better description, to at least provide some form of standard for AI implementation?

So does the free version with only AI traffic work everywhere? I'm not interested in ATC etc of the paid version.

They already did, you have 20 Ai which according to Austin is all you will ever need.

"Perfect" is how he described the Ai in one podcast i listened to.

austin is a smart guy there is no doubt to that. But sometimes he is taking his ego pills a bit way too much

Well, a comment like that I am not sure how to judge, but some form of an API would have been the correct approach.

I'm really impressed with this. Does what it says on the tin and does it well. I'd like to be able to add region specific aircraft models, CSL format for instance or Fruitstand aircraft. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Does X-Life include traffic for South American airports, let me say SBGR, SBGL or SAEZ?

I would appreciate any screenshot of this airports. Thank you!

X-life only generates AI traffic and it is completely free if you do not care to have ATC and some deluxe features.

For example i have created an airport for X-plane by using WED.  Also did not act as a lazy developer and created full ATC taxi routes. So either x-plane own ai, or X-life ai can work out of the box. 
Only problem about X-Life is gate editor. Since X-Life gates are more detailed than X-plane (10.50 will fix that WED will have ICAO based classification) in some airports you need to manually correct it. 

So you can ask VS FSX?   MyTraffic is better than x-life.  WHY? because X-life just get an ai model and put it in the simulation, bu keep in mind that X-life is new born and will develop. Imao i do not care to see an aircraft belong a carrier not coming to that airport in real life.  We have now traffic  and by the help of all developers it will be more developed in the following years.   

Also keep in mind that X-plane development and community size is lower than FSX. So if the addon will be popular, it will grow.
