Expert Overview

Cholila Lodge Aero Fishing in Argentine Patagonia is a meticulously rebuilt bush airstrip that closely mirrors its real-world counterpart and captures the region’s rugged beauty. Featuring high-resolution PBR textures, 3D custom objects, GA parking spots, and detailed vegetation, this scenery by developer Hernan Di Tano brings new life to a private aerodrome once frequented by the legendary Butch Cassidy.

Every year, the popular Aero Camping event adds extra excitement to the field, celebrating its history and scenic surroundings. From the reworked runway to the realistic night lighting, I’ve found each detail polished and immersive, making it a worthy addition for those seeking an authentic Patagonian flying experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

A replacement for Cholila Lodge Aero Fishing in the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS 2020). The developer (Hernan Di Tano), notes;

One of the most emblematic Bush airstrips in Patagonia Argentina.

The original airstrip wasn't even close to what you will find in reality. So this is my humble work for it.

The scenery includes many exciting features including high-resolution textures which include PBR (physically based rendering) along with custom 3D buildings, objects, and an updated parking spot modification. All of the scenery has been hand designed to make the airfield as close to the real-life rendition as possible.

Cholila Lodge Aero Fishing is a Private Aerodrome, owned by Daniel Roy Wegrzyn. Cholila Lodge Aero Fishing is located about 15km away from the city of Cholila. Its a well know location for been the place where Butch Cassidy bought a Ranch in 1901 and lived there until 1905 (Wooden Cabin has been restored in 2007).

Every year a multi-leg event called "Aero Camping" takes place in this aerodrome.
