there is no scheduled date for scenery...
if you have added your airports to the x-plane gateway and they have been accepted there, they should be included in the next update FG gets from the gateway...
FG cannot just update the apt.dat and similar files to bring new airports and updates to existing airports into the FG scenery... the entire world scenery has to be rebuilt, too... it has to be rebuilt because the airports are actually fit into holes cut into the scenery mesh specifically for them... building the world scenery takes a very long time... on the order of weeks and weeks... when an error occurs, the build process has to be restarted after the error is fixed... the last experimental build of newer scenery took over a month to run and it wasn't even the entire world...
