Did you have the APU on and connected? or Ground power connected? I'm guessing this is your issue.

what do yoy mean ground power

The engines are what supply the power for your digital instruments in the cockpit, this means that your problem is that your aircraft is loosing power when your aircraft is shut down. To avoid this, either turn on the apu when on the ground and taxiing to the gate, or go into the FMC, go to FSACTIONS then GROUND CONNECTIONS, then on Connect the Ground Power by clicking the Line Select Key next to it. Then, on the overhead, click on the ground power available switch to turn it on. After that you can shut down the aircraft without loosing your cockpit displays.

Arzaan described ground power perfectly.

It seems you are new to these types of addons. I recommended you spend time with the excellent tutorials included with the product. Ryan spent lots of time putting them together and it will answer any questions you may have. It will also likely be quicker than waiting for answers to questions on the forums.

As Tim, make sure you do the tutorials made by Ryan, they are very well written. If you want another source of information, check out fsxpilot767's YouTube channel, he has a whole video tutorial series on the aircraft and he does other things like going over holding patterns, going around etc. I learned most of what I know about the NGX from him.
