So looking at the .ics file spec I don’t know what one we need but we are missing these … its

1. X-WR-TIMEZONE
2. TZID
3. X-LIC-LOCATION

so I think the timezone setting in the pack should be pulled and it should add X-WR-TIMEZONE to match … when you import from google it assumes your local … but godaddy I can’t find for the life of me where to set that … and it worked before because I assume the old ics calendars had timezone info

Example with proper timezone info … X-WR-TIMEZONE and X-LIC-LOCATION is set and the even has a DTSTART;TZID=“America/Los\_Angeles”:20160206T074400 and DTEND;TZID=“America/Los\_Angeles”:20160206T084400

I think at minium the fix would be add X-WR-TIMEZONE and X-LIC-LOCATION and proper spec should allow for each even to have its own start and stop timezone … I’m sure you folks get on planes and as you move around the timezone settings will adjust if properly set on the calendar
