I found that there is a utility called "PowerStrip" which you can download from http://entechtaiwan.com/util/ps.shtm that allowed me to add the 1360x768 resolution to my display modes. Once I did this I was able to get the MaGui widescreen mod working on my Radeon.
I now have frame rate issues when I am close to land (which I suspect is something else in the mod), but as you have a more powerful graphics card this may not be an issue for you. The PowerStrip utility isn't that easy to use and it's kind of annoying as it always pops up a message when you boot (you can disable this if you register).
If you decide to try PowerStrip and have trouble getting it to work, let me know and I can try and help out. Right now I'm posting from a Linux machine so I don't have Windows and the PowerStrip utility in front of me.
Thanks.
PS. I'm not associated with the makers of PowerStrip in any way.

Unfortunately my Radeon doesn't support 1360x768 either. I'll give PowerStrip a try.
Thanks.
