Flight Simulator 2004 (DX9) works perfect in windowed mode. However, when switching to full screen mode:

The menu bar (press Alt) will not be visible at all, even if the application thinks it's there. Attempting to navigate it (with arrow keys) even when it's invisible will result in the game just resuming the simulation.
The game's menu screens (appearing when hitting Esc or ; during simulation) will result in the game disappearing as if I minimized it. Pressing Esc or ; again will return the game to normal.
Hitting F10 to display the kneeboard kicks the game back to windowed mode with no borders. The kneeboard itself doesn't function well in full screen, so I have to switch back to proper windowed mode to at least close it.

Running on AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.

I've seem cases like this with various graphical software (not always games) - almost always it's video card/driver related. Windowed mode uses bog standard Winblows interface, full-screen in many games invokes more direct-to-driver code... Check that your video card driver is the latest!

Full screen works fine without dgVoodoo. As for the GPU drivers, I'm using the latest ones, 26.3.1.
