If your joystick is kaput it won't work in other games besides FS. A quick and easy test to see if it is wrong is to try and calibrate it either from Windows or in FS itself. See what happens, it'll show up faults easily enough

Go into Control Panel in Windows and select Game Controllers. A window will pop-up and then you click on Properties. This'll give you the chance to check the configuration and you'll easily see if anything is not working properly

A really silly thought but you didn't save a previous game with the autopilot on perchance? Just if you do that it causes all kinds of fun problems like this...
