IMO the existing AI solutions aren't really suited to your problem. They try hard to setup an AIFlightPlan for every plane, which is responsible for (semi-)automatically routing the aircraft (calculating course, approx. attitudes etc.). Most of these calculations are obsolete in your case. All you want is to display your external AI traffic position data (probably with a bit of interpolation) As you want to do it as an external application anyway, maybe the best way is to use the multiplayer protocol and implement it as a custom multiplayer server.
