Invites not automatically added to Google Calendar

Why do meeting requests sent from Outlook not show up automatically in my Google Calendar?
Whenever I send myself a meeting request from my Outlook to my Google Calendar, I receive the email notification in Gmail but the event does not show up automatically in my Google Calendar even though my settings are set to do so.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but when the email arrives in Gmail, it has an ical DAT attachment. Clicking on it does not add the event to my calendar. I've also googled these dat attachments and found that a quirk in Outlook sometimes results in strange winmail dat attachments showing up in non Outlook clients. To get rid of these, I'm supposed to set my Outlook mail format to plain text but when I tried this, the invite is still not showing in my Google Calendar.
Any suggestions?
