Did you turn the autopilot on via the pedestal switch?

That AP/Trim switch (Big red switch on the glareshield) isn't the same as the actual AP engage switch.You have to reach down to the center pedestal and push the button manually. This also engages the YD (button to the right - if flying as Captain - of the AP engage button).You can also easily bring up the 2D panel which includes the FMS and AP settings with Shift + 3.

Or, if you haven't changed the keymapping in FSX, you can press the Z key on your keyboard.
