MSFS2020 A320 AP Not Working as of today - User error?

Howdy,

I'm basically new to Vatsim - started using it only a few days ago.  I had several flights in MSFS2020 A320 with zero issues, just getting used to live ATC coms.  Today, however, my autopilot is not functioning properly.  I had to do a mandatory MSFS update today so I can't tell if that's the problem.  Has anyone else experienced anything similar?  My issue is that my autopilot seems to want to take me back to my departure airport, or close to it. I haven't just let it go to see where it takes me, but that seems to be what's happening, and the FMC isn't showing where it's taking me.  I can't even get it to function properly in heading-hold mode.  I've created flight plans in SimBrief from and to various airports.  I've saved those to my computer and loaded them into MSFS.  When I do that and fly with Vatsim, my autopilot is broken.  When I do it without Vatsim - loading the exact same flight plan file from my computer - the autopilot works just fine.  On my last attempt tonight, I ended up just flying by hand for a bit without AP.  At one point Center had me fly direct to a waypoint, and even when I selected direct to that waypoint in my FMC, I still got a 180 headed back to what looked to be a direct course to my departure airport.  For the life of me I can't figure this out.  Any ideas?

I saw a Discord post today which said that even basic VOR navigation wasn't working right after today.  Haven't had a chance to confirm personally -- just throwing that out there as possible additional credence to the theory that it's not just you. 

 

EDIT: I just did a fully IFR flight in the C152, and VOR and ILS navigation all worked completely as expected for me.  I have not attempted a flight in the A320.  Not sure what to say.  I'm just passing the info along at this point.

Lot's of information especially related to A320 on the MSFS2020 forum https://www.flightsimulator.com/  I would be totally surprised if Vatsim connectivity would have any relationship to this problem. However with computers one can never be 100% certain.
