Ultralight Traffic ?

Well it isn't that hard to add it youself. Decompile a traffic file and and replace e.g. a cessna 172 for the UL. Recompile and your done. Or use a payware tool like Flight1's [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]AirTrafficFX[/FONT]
1) I'd say you were correct, they're really not that popular within the community, but also...
2) You could use the freeware "AI Flight Planner" (available from Avsim) to program some routes, or if you want them to be more random, you could use the traffic tools available within the FSX SDK (all files are provided, you just need to add the Ultralight to the aircraft list and compile them...)
Either way will work, but AI Flight Planner is probably the easiest.

The easiest way to do it, to be honest, would be using the SDK method (I can't believe I'm saying that!) - you could set up a list of appropriate fields and just have the microlights as the only aircraft available. Then just copy the command line into a DOS window and hit enter and it will give you a bunch of randomised flights.
I keep intending to do it with the FCS Magister, to create some random training flights around my RAF airfields, but never get around to it.

Here is a tutorial on it;

Its fun adding in your own AI traffic and bringing your favorite planes to life in the Virtual FS world.
You can add many ultralights and gliders by the way. But you will have to do a little homework on setting up flights, etc.
Also, for gliders, you would need to make a version that has power so it can takeoff. Then set it on a slow trip to another airstrip at a slow 40 to 50 knots, etc. (That flying wing hand glider would be cool for that).
The first route is difficult to make. But after you get it working and you see your plane flying, you are then addicted at that point, and you will probably end up making 10 different flights....
